Indicated as roughly semicircular enclosure (c. 70m E-W; projecting c. 40m to N) on 1842 OS 6-inch map; arc (W->E) formed by hachured bank on 1905 and 1935 OS 6-inch maps. Interior slopes down to S; enclosed by low rise (H 0.2m) W->E, with straight edge to S defined by sharp fall of ground down to stream. Field known locally as 'lios field'. Sharp drop planted with trees, forms part of Cregg Wood. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.
