The National Monuments Service's description
On top of a hill. Depicted as hachured oval enclosure (c. 40m E-W; c. 20m N-S) on 1842 OS 6-inch map, with rectangular 'Turret' marked in NW quadrant; broken line encloses oval area (c. 30m E-W; c. 18m N-S) on 1936 OS 6-inch map, with 'Gizabo' immediately outside oval area to W. Top of hill, as depicted by broken line on OS 6-inch map, fairly level, densely overgrown and defined by steep scarp; tower (14955) at W end. According to Bowman (1934, 597), 'fort' on summit of hill 'practically levelled'. Enclosure probably associated with tower.
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.
