The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on N-facing slope. Circular area (diam. c. 28m) enclosed by overgrown low rise (max. H 0.6m) with remains of stone walling visible in parts. Large stones (max. 2 courses high) form definite outer edge of original line of walling to W and SW; inner edge visible to SE for short section. Modern field boundary and drain truncates E edge of enclosure. Dumped earth and boulders immediately inside field boundary forms grass-covered platform (12m X 11m). Interior cut into hillslope on S side; slopes gently down to N, badly drained and partially overgrown with furze bushes.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
