The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, atop hill. Circular slightly raised area (internal diam. 27m E-W; 24m N-S) enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 1.22m; ext. H 1.62m). Bank heavily overgrown; best preserved E->NW; incorporated into field fence system to S. Cattle gap in bank to NE (Wth 0.5m) and NNW (Wth 1.4m). Interior planted with coniferous trees; N half level, S half higher, sloping down to N. Aerial photographic evidence suggests that this ringfort was levelled in the late 1990s.
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.
