The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on break in SW-facing slope. Circular, slightly raised area (38m N-S; 38m E-W) defined by stone-faced scarp, especially on SW side where interior raised (H 0.8m) to compensate for hillslope. Shallow external fosse (D 0.25m) S->NE; drain dug outside bank elsewhere. Scarp topped by wall of loose stones (max. H 1.1m). Interior bisected by roadway running N-S.
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.
