The National Monuments Service's description
On a rough rocky ridge with views N over Coomarkane valley and its surrounding mountains. A circular area (diam. 8m) is defined by a partially collapsed roughly constructed drystone wall (T 0.5m; H 0.8m) that narrows as it rises. A large boulder is incorporated into the wall at W and a smaller boulder is incorporated into the wall at E. The uneven-surfaced interior is covered with ferns. There is a hut site (CO104-023001-) c. 25m to the W.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
