The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on gentle S-facing slope. Circular enclosure visible in aerial photograph (GSIAP, R522) as cropmark of fosse with faint trace of internal bank; field boundary at W curves to respect site. Roughly circular area (internal dims. c. 20m E-W; c. 16m N-S) defined by low rise (ext. 0.35m; max. Wth 10m); shallow external fosse (D 0.25m) survives NW->NE and SE->SW. Field boundary at W removed.
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.
