The National Monuments Service's description
Described by Colm Chambers as 'a series of wooden stakes in the mudflats of the Owenabue estuary between Carrigaline and Crosshaven in the townland of Hoddersfield, County Cork. A 20m to 30m section of the structure is visible 10m to 30m from the shore. There are perhaps 20-30 roundwood stakes measuring between 10cm and 15cm in diameter and projecting 20cm to 30cm above the mudflat. I sent Aidan O'Sullian of UCD photographs of this structure and he said it is "almost certainly a fishtrap [...] it looks medieval (10th-15th century)".
