Cropmark (GSI, W255) shows circular univallate enclosure (diam. c. 35m); possibly one of the two 'lioses' referred to by Power (1940, 103) as having 'been demolished long since'.
In June 2003 a souterrain (CO100-023001-) was discovered here after the ground colapsed under the weight of a tractor. While the landowner was not aware of any rath or souterrain here, the placename 'Lios na gCruach' is associated with this area. The class for this record has therefore been changed to rath.
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.
