The National Monuments Service's description
On a pasture terrace, on the W-facing slopes of Cobduff overlooking Glengarriff. A circular area (diam. 10m) is defined by the jumbled remains of a stone wall (T 0.9m; H 0.45m) NW-SE and elsewhere by the damaged edge of a scarp, from the top of which the enclosing element of stones has largely been removed. A slab, set radially on the perimeter at NE, probably indicates one side of the entrance. The level interior is raised (H 0.2m) at W and cut into the upsloping bank (D 0.8m) at E. An enclosure (CO105-055001-) and a cairn (CO105-055003-) lie c. 140m to the NW and c. 200m to the S, respectively.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
