Depicted as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m) on 1842 and 1904 OS 6-inch maps; similar on 1935 OS 6-inch map except section of bank missing to NNE. Arc (C 20m) formed by earthen bank (int. H 2m) with shallow external fosse, survives in field fence system to W. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.
