The National Monuments Service's description
On top of a low hill on N-facing slope; commanding view of Meelagh valley. Circular enclosure (diam. c. 20m) defined by bank NW->NE (H 0.4m); scarp SE->SW (H 0.65m); truncated to W by N-S field fence. Entrance to SE, defined to S by radially-set stone (L 1m; 0.8m; 0.25m). Second stone outside gap in bank to NW. N half interior overgrown. (WBBS). Myler (1998, 40) records that 'just south of this ringfort in a dense patch of blackthorns are the remains of an old dwelling site or Coulach'.
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.
