In grassland, on N-facing slope, W of Mealagh River. Marked as circular enclosure on OS 6-inch map (1842). Bank (H 1.6m) W->E; otherwise levelled. Myler (1998, 14) records that 'It is now just about visible as a low circular ridge measuring about 25 yards in diameter. There is a well or drain visible in the north facing slope some distance beneath this site which could possibily be an indication of a sourterrain feature connected with this fort.'
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.
