The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on level ground. Semi-circular raised area (54m N-S; 24m E-W) defined by gentle scarp (H 0.9m) N->S; roadway running N-S defines area to W. Interior surface slopes down gently towards centre. May be remains of one of the following: 'there were formerly two lioses, but these were levelled by a tenant named Field' (Power 1940, 98).
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.
