The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on crest of hill. Circular slightly raised area (29.3m N-S; 29.5m E-W) enclosed by earthen bank (H 1m), stone-faced externally. Possible souterrain (CO106-056---) in interior; standing stone (CO106-02002-) inside N bank. Myler (1998, 42) recorded that there was a 'local tradition of a souterrain with this fort although there is no location visible. This tunnel was said to connect with the ringfort in Laharanshermeen' (CO106-081----).
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.
