The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on NE-facing slope. Depicted as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 45m) on 1842 OS 6-inch map. Levelled; no visible surface trace. Probably fort mentioned by Broker (1937, 45), on Denny Lane's land, as being destroyed but located in 'field called Lisin 100 spades' from ringfort (8157), which lies c. 70m to S. There were 'a couple of heaps of stones there which [were] never touched, a man is said to have been buried near one (ibid.). Standing stone (6649) once stood immediately to S of site with second standing stone (6648) once standing c. 25m to NW of enclosure.
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.
