The National Monuments Service's description
In a coastal promontory fort (CO136-100---). Two earth-cut openings, one with a rounded top and the other pointed, were noted in the eroded face of the seaward side of the promontory fort following a storm in the Spring of 1991 (pers. comm. Domnall Fleming). Photographs supplied confirm the possibility that these openings are part of a souterrain. The openings were inaccessible.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
