The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a S-facing slope with views S over Courtmacsherry Bay. Indicated on the 1902 OS 6-inch map as a hachured arc (C c. 30m) S-N abutting the W side of a N-S field boundary. The stone-built field boundary is obscured by briars and is of similar construction to other field boundaries in the area. There are no visible remains of the possible earthwork. There is a rath (CO124-055----) c. 90m to the NNE and another rath (CO124-054----) c. 200m to the NW. It is possible that the hachured arc on the OS 6-inch map indicated the remains of a third rath.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
