The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, at the foot of a steep N-facing slope on Stuckaunfoilnabena, a headland on the NW coast of Clear Island. A narrow eroding neck of land (Wth 3m; L 15m) leads to the roughly anvil-shaped headland. Across this neck of land are the remains of three earthen banks (max. Wth 3m; max. H 0.65m) and the shallow remains of three fosses (max. Wth 2m). Further examination of the remains was not possible for safety reasons.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
