The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, with limestone outcrops, c. 600m E of circular enclosure (CO087-095---). Aerial photograph (Dr. D.D.C. Pochin Mould) shows possible small circular enclosure defined by low bank with narrow external and internal fosses N->ESE; slight fosse S->N. A second arc swinging round from just outside enclosure to SW to join line of enclosure to N may be natural terracing in face outcrop. Further to W, upslope, a further arc concentric to small enclosure consists of a low bank with narrow fosses internally and externally; traceable running from outcrop SSW->W; may continue in fragmentary form as far as field fence to N. S of this again; low bank with double curves runs app. SeNW; further short fragments of low bank to W and SW of enclosure seem to indicate small and unregular fields. On ground, very difficult to discern any adherent pattern; 'enclosure' in pronounced hollow; enclosing element resembles drains.
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.
