In pasture, on S-facing slope. Depicted as hachured circular raised area (diam. c. 20m) on 1937 OS 6-inch map. Roughly circular area (24m E-W; 22.3m N-S) defined by scarp (H 0.25m); external fosse (D 0.7m) W->NNE. From top of scarp, W->E, interior slopes down towards centre. Interior raised on S side to compensate for hillslope. 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
