In pasture, on E-facing slope. According to Broker (1937, 49), on Thomas Barrett's land 'fort 1/4 acre; levelled in 1885'. Only SE quadrant survives, defined by scarp (H 0.7m) E->S; N-S laneway to W and field fence to N, with trees planted beyond. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
