What is recorded here
No visible mound or chamber, though local memory and official description agree the site exists. That absence is the feature: a hidden fort, not a failed photograph.
In pasture, at edge of spur on steep S-facing slope. Circular area (28m N-S; 28m E-W) enclosed by substantial earthen bank (max. int. H 4m); external fosse (D 0.3m) SSW->ESE; with counterscarp (H 1.2m) SSW->SW and N->SE. Entrance (Wth 4m) to S. Possible Man-made underground passage (CO104-00802-) in interior.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
