The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a gentle N-facing slope. Indicated on a 1773-4 map (no. 23) by B. Scalé (NLI MSS 7216-18). A barely discernible ridge extends in a slight arc (L 14m E-W), which may be the N sector remnants of the bank of the possible rath. A field boundary indicated on the 1935 OS 6-inch map immediately to the NW has been removed and there is a farm roadway running roughly E-W across the levelled S half of the monument.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
