In pasture, on break in SSE-facing slope. Circular area (33.4m E-W; 30.1m N-S) enclosed by low bank (max. H 0.8m) with external fosse (Wth 2.6m). Top of bank has been removed and material now fills fosse all round. Possible break in bank to ESE. Interior surface uneven and partially covered by growth of reeds; depression inside W bank. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
