In tillage, on SE-facing slope, overlooking Gyleen Bay to SSE. Excavated by O'Flaherty (1982, 129-31) prior to levelling. Circular area (max. diam. 35m) defined by bank (max. H 2m); bank heavily denuded on N side. Excavation revealed bank constructed of re-deposited boulder clay; also presence of external fosse. Partially stone-lined drain in interior; no evidence for occupation. Interpreted as cattle corral. According to Power (1940, 100) 'There were, at least, five lioses....; of these, three have been prostrated' (CO100-00901-; CO100-01001-; CO100-050---; CO100-051---).
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.
