The National Monuments Service's description
Irregular complex of cropmarks covering E half of field, visible in aerial photographs (CASAP, July 1989; GSIAP, R528-9, July 1975). Cropmark of fosse of irregular enclosure (c. 100m N-S; c. 50m E-W) abutting W side of field fence; at least one linear cropmark crosses interior on NW-SE axis; E side of enclosure possibly truncated by field fence. Cropmark of two closely spaced linear fosses extends a short distance W from W side of enclosure, turns roughly NW and then E to join NW corner of enclosure; at this point, the inner of the two fosses merges for a short distance with the fosse of the enclosure; the cropmarks then diverge from the enclosure and extend to NE, terminating at field fence. Circular enclosure (13537) in NW corner of same field.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
