In pasture, atop knoll. Shown on 1842 OS 6-inch map as circular enclosure (diam. c. 30m). Power (1917, 170) records a '"cathair" with souterrains', stating that 'all stones have been carted away leaving only the earthen core of the rampart'. McCarthy (1977, 338) notes that in 1976 'the stone rampart of the caher was practically erased'. According to local information, site finally levelled c. 1981; area distinguishable by copious amounts of stone. Souterrain (CO054-02002-) in interior. Levelled circular enclosure (CO054-02101-), souterrain (CO054-02102-) and standing stone (CO054-02103-) c. 70m to SE.
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.
