In grounds of Castle Park house. Bowman (1934, 502) recorded fort in K.G. Priestly's, 'single-rampart, only one-sixth of the circuit now stands, this portion being c. 14 feet high, and c. 22 feet wide at base'. Very faint outline of penannular circle (diam. c. 40m) NNE->W, defined by dotted line (doubled S->WSW), surrounds Castle Park house on 1842 OS 6-inch map ; may indicate former extent of ringfort. Arc formed by earthen bank survives to SW of house. Bank (int. H 2.75m; ext. H 1.35m) forms part of rockery; stone faced to S. House appears to be built in N half of enclosure.
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.
