In pasture, atop E-W ridge. Circular area (46.9m N-S; 45.9m E-W) enclosed by two earthen banks with intervening fosse. Low inner bank height gives interior saucer-shaped appearance. Outer bank (H 1.4m) heavily overgrown; disturbed to S where intervening fosse infilled. Entrance (Wth 4m) to NNW, with causeway.
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.
