In level pasture. According to landowner, small enclosure c. 6-7 yards in diameter with 2ft high bank found during land reclamation. Broker (1937,55) recorded on Dan Gearon's land, besides his large fort (8016), two other nearly levelled enclosures, '30 and 10 yards in diameter', one of which 'is alleged to have the fosse inside the rampart'. No visible surface trace. Another possible ring-barrow (7884) c. 150m to NW.

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.
