In pasture, on N-facing slope. Depicted as hachured subcircular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on 1842, 1904 and 1938 OS 6-inch maps, incorporated into NW corner of field. Arc formed by earthen bank (int. H 1.2m; ext. H 1.2m) survives in field boundary system SW->NNE. Bank heavily overgrown. Interior raised on N side to compensate for hillslope. Probably one of two levelled, single-ramparted forts (diam. c. 31yd and c. 34yd) recorded by Bowman (1934, 554) on J.Sheehan's land.
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.
