The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on a terrace on the W-facing slopes of Cobduff overlooking Glengarriff. A circular area (diam. 12m) is defined by contiguous intermittently spaced upright slabs (L 0.9m; T 0.5m; H 0.6m) protruding above the surface of the bog, displayed best along the SE-SW arc. The level interior has a thick covering of moor-grass. There is a second enclosure (CO105-055002-) c. 140m to the SE.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
