Indicated as rectangular, overgrown field (c. 65m NE-SW; c. 60m NW-SE) surrounded by double fence on 1842, 1905 and 1936 OS 6-inch maps; double fence only on NW and NE sides on 1905 OS 6-inch map; inner fence hachured on 1936 OS 6-inch map. Levelled; area of marshy ground enclosed on all four sides by barely perceptible depression also visible as differential growth pattern. Site inspected by OPW in 1974 prior to land reclamation works; their records describe a moated site, defined by fosse (c. 20ft wide) with inner bank (ext. H c. 8ft from base of fosse) and low outer bank (int. H c. 6ft from base of fosse; ext. H c. 2ft); also 'slight, recent-looking outer fosse'; NW side had been breached to allow tractor into interior to remove bushes. Listed by Barry (1981, 83, no. 33).
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.
