The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a terrace of a S-facing hillslope with commanding views E-W from Blackball Head to Crow Head and over the mouth of Bantry Bay. According to local information, older people remember part of a circular bank of earth and stone at this location. It was levelled and is not visible at ground level. The location is still known as 'Cathair na Gaoithe' which translates as 'stone fort of the wind'.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
