In rough hill grazing on bog, with occasional outcropping rock, on a large terrace on the upper S-facing slopes of Shehy Beg. A D-shaped area (9m N-S), with the straight side at N (L 14m), is defined by the linear face of outcropping rock at N and elsewhere by the remains of a stone wall (T 0.4m; H 1m). The stone wall consists mainly of contiguous stone slabs protruding above the surface of the bog. Rushes obscure the interior. There is a hut site (CO093-080001-) c. 60m to the E.
A length of field wall (L c. 14m) emerges from the bog c.11m out from the western side of the enclosure. It consists of mostly flat stones set on edge contiguously (H. 0.8m). It forms a partial outer element to the enclosure.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
