The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on S-facing slope. Circular area (diam. c. 38.5m) defined by earthen bank (H 2.65m) SSW->NNW, with shallow fosse; short low rise to S and NE may mark line of levelled bank. Laneway to E curves as if to respect site. Stone-faced earthen field fence running E-W, and curving slightly, defines area to N. Gap worn in bank to NNW. Low ridge crosses interior on N-S axis.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
