The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture. Levelled; depicted as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 40m) on 1842 OS 6-inch map, bisected by laneway running E-W; partially levelled on 1904 and 1938 OS 6-inch maps. According to Hartnett (1939, 98), 'half the rampart remains to the E, but is is nearly levelled....and a modern field wall, forms the NW boundary of the fort'.
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.
