Levelled; no visible surface trace. According to Power (1923, 181) 'The O.M. records four lioses, of which three...still survive. Two of these...with ramparts 5 feet high. The third ...is of large size, and its rampart is 9 feet high. There were two further (unrecorded) lioses, of which no trace now remains'.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
