The National Monuments Service's description
In level pasture, above NW-facing slope. Field known as fort field; also local tradition of souterrain (9024). No visible surface trace. Possibly same fort as recorded by Broker (1937, 48) on Tim Connell's land, described as 'one eight acre, levelled completely about 1875. Field still called Pairc an Leasa'.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
