In pasture, on S-facing slope, on demesne of Keale House c. 100m to N of River Blackwater. Depicted as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) bisected by NE-SW field boundary off-centre to SE on 1842 OS 6-inch map. Arc (C 21m) formed by earthen bank (int. H 0.4m; ext. H 1.3m) survives on SE side of field boundary. Bank planted with mature deciduous trees. Raised interior overgrown, with some tree stumps visible. May be fort recorded by Bowman (1934, 305) on Mrs Faber's land, which was 'levelled long since'. Appears to have been used as a tree ring.
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.
