The National Monuments Service's description
On N side of Mealagh River, NE of ringfort (CO105-044---). Heavily overgrown, inaccessible. Shown as subcircular field on OS 6-inch map (1902) (diam. c. 50-60m); not shown on OS 6-inch map (1842). Myler (1998, 21) describes this site but he incorrectly states that it is not on the SMR. He (1998, 21) describes it as 'a large round enclosure encompassed with a bank of small stones'.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
