The National Monuments Service's description
In rough gorse-covered pasture, on the foot of a S-facing rocky mountain slope overlooking the mouth of Glenlough valley. A circular area (10m E-W; 9.4m N-S) is defined by the intermittent remains of a low bank (Wth 1m; H 0.15m) E-W and by an eroded earthen bank cut into the upslope (H 0.7m) W-E. The level interior is raised (H 1m) along the S arc where it is revetted by stone slabs. The entire site is obscured by gorse and ferns. Two hut sites (CO103-027001-, CO103-027004-) lie c. 25m to the NNE and c. 85m to the ENE, respectively.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
