The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a SW-facing slope with good views SE-WNW over rolling pasture. Indicated as a circular 'Danes Fort' on a 1775 map (no. 29) by B. Scalé (private collection). It is not visible at ground level. A curving field boundary running roughly N-W along the E quadrant, and probably incorporating the enclosing bank of the rath, is visible on the 1943 OS 6-inch map but has been subsequently removed.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
