In pasture. Depicted as hachured circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m) on 1842 OS 6-inch map; survives NNW->S incorporated into field fence system on 1904 and 1937 OS 6-inch map; levelled section to W indicated by broken line on 1937 OS 6-inch map. According to Hartnett (1939, 282), 'rampart to the west is levelled, and a modern fence surrounds the fort to the north and east'. Levelled; no visible surface trace. In 2008 remains of this ringfort, in the form of a raised interior (H c. 1.5m), were identified during an archaeological assessment (Shine 2008).
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.
