The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on N-facing slope of E-W ridge; no visible surface trace. Marked 'site of' on all editions of OS 6-inch map, but 1842 map also indicates three walls of rectangular structure (c. 20m E-W; c. 10m N-S). Probably built by Goulds (Healy 1988, 40).
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.
