The National Monuments Service's description
Depicted as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) on 1842 OS 6-inch map. Levelled; N-S avenue cuts across site off-centre to E. In pasture land field to W of avenue, enclosure survives as slight scarp SW->N; to N, earthen rampart at S side of ruined lime kiln is possibly modified remains of earthen bank (max. H 2m). In arable field to E of avenue, no visible surface trace of site survives. Probably one of three levelled ringforts recorded by Bowman (1934, 676) on lands of John Linehan, Andrew O'Callaghan and Joseph McCarthy.
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.
