The National Monuments Service's description

In pasture, c. 20m NW of moated site (14198). Overgrown mound of burnt material (17m NNE-SSW; H 0.8m). Recorded in 1849 by Windele (1898, 54-5) as 'a fine follock, a large round mound of considerable circumference which stands within a few paces of the entrance [to moated site], the stream which fills the moat flowing between'. Windele (ibid.) also recorded a fulacht fiadh in the next field to the NW' and a third in the field next to that'; these remain unlocated (see 10591, 10592).

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.
