In tillage, atop N-S ridge. Depicted as hachured square enclosure (c. 20m x c. 20m) on 1842 OS 6-inch map; as hachured oval enclosure (c. 30m x c. 22m) on 1905 OS 6-inch map; as hachured, nearly circular enclosure (diam. c. 25m) on 1936 OS 6-inch map. Interior heavily overgrown and inaccessible; enclosed by earthen bank (int. H 0.5m; ext. H 0.8m). Bank, for most of its circumference, covered with field clearance stones and cut branches. Shape of enclosure could not be determined in field due to overgrowth and dumped material, but most likely oval/circular, as depicted on 1905 and 1936 OS 6-inch maps respectively.
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.
