The National Monuments Service's description
At S side of levelled rectangular enclosure (CO026-02201-). Grove White (1905-25, vol. 4, 38) recorded 'an oblong fort with chambers underneath, having steps leading down to them. There was an arched passage, choked with stuff that looked like soot (probably result of cremation)'. According to local information, entrance to souterrain discovered outside ramparts on S side; later infilled by landowner. No visible surface trace.
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.
