The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture. Depicted as hachured circular raised area (diam. c. 22m) enclosed within small square field (c. 35m x c. 35m) on 1904 and 1937 OS 6-inch maps. Site impossible to survey due to overgrowth and due to rubble dumped in interior and on external bank face. Bank visible to NE enclosing interior. Recorded by Bowman (1934, 332) as double-ramparted fort in Mr Ml O'Flynn's; inner rampart levelled (diam. c. 33yd); outer rampart 'practically levelled'.
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.
