Phillips's 1685 map (Gowen ibid., 231) shows 'a castle with earthen outworks, having one bastion-shaped projection towards the east' (ibid., 232). This latter fort, known as 'Prince Rupert's Tower obviously originated in the civil war years of the mid seventeenth century' (O Murchadha 1990, 4).
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.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
