The National Monuments Service's description
On bog within relict field boundaries (CO091-010012-) on an E-facing hillslope overlooking the valley of the Barony River. A circular area (diam. 14m) is defined by a largely collapsed stone wall (T 1.3; H 0.7m) displaying traces of an inner and an outer row of upright contiguous slabs with an infill of earth and stone, especially along the SE-S arc. The entrance (Wth 1.2), at E, is defined by two upright parallel slabs. The almost level interior, covered with rushes, is raised (0.4m) at E and cut into the upslope (D 1m) at W to compensate for the hillslope. A field wall, protruding from the bog, abuts the NW side. Rubble is scattered downslope to the E.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
