The National Monuments Service's description
On a gently sloping terrace, on a W-facing hillslope overlooking Dursey Sound. An irregularly shaped mainly pasture area (c. 140m N-S; c. 120m E-W) is defined by the remains of a collapsed stone wall (T 0.5m; H 0.4m), the base stones of which protrude from a low bank of peat and earth (Wth 0.7-1m). On the W side taller stones, set at right angles to the line of the wall, occur intermittently and lower similarly set stones occur in between.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
