A circular enclosure (14.9m E-W; 14.4m N-S) defined by a double line of upright contiguous stones (max. H 1.2m) E-SW and W-N; core (int. H 0.7m) now grass-covered, contains some stones. Entrance (Wth 1.2m) to SSE defined by two upright slabs. Depicted on OS 6-inch map (1901).
Radiocarbon dating of peat growth (GrN-28301; 800±30 BP) in the interior shows the enclosure to have been abandoned by c. AD 1200 (O'Brien 2004b, 61; 2006, 39).
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
