The National Monuments Service's description
In tillage, on gentle S-facing slope. Local tradition of ringfort here; on 1842, 1905 and 1937 OS 6-inch maps; curve in field boundary N->S and road boundary S->SW gives U-shaped profile (C c. 60m NE-SW; projection c. 60m to SE) to corner of field on 1842, 1905 and 1937 OS 6-inch maps. Field boundary levelled; road boundary fence (int. H 0.6m; ext. H c. 2m) which forms curve (C 16m) is much more substantial than elsewhere.
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.
