Depicted on 1943 OS 6-inch map as roughly rectangular field (c. 40m NE-SW; c. 50m NW-SE) with rounded corners to S and E. Roughly square field (c. 40m NW-SE; c. 40m NE-SW) incorporated into W side of farmyard. Locally known as lios. Surface cut up due to animal activity; no surface trace of ringfort visible. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997).
