The National Monuments Service's description
In Currage Wood, on a break in a SW-facing slope and near the top of a hill. A circular area (27m N-S; 25m E-W) is defined by a low, rounded, earthen bank (Wth 5.5m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.7m). The bank is broken at NNE and NNW (Wth 3m) due to a forest path which crossed E-W through the N half of the interior. The bank and interior are planted with trees. The interior slopes gently down to the W.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
