The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on S-facing slope. Roughly circular area (32.5m N-S; 31.5m E-W) defined by earthen bank (int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.9m) W->E; scarp (H 1.7m) elsewhere. Hedge extends from E into interior. Interior raised on S side to compensate for hillslope. Scarp truncated to SE due to extension of concrete yard to N of farmhouse.
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.
