In pasture, on a hillock on the NW bank of a river with restricted views due to trees. A circular area (diam. c. 20m) is enclosed by occasional traces of an eroded earthen bank (Wth c. 2m; H 0.1m). The entire rath, including the sloping flanks of the hillock, has been disturbed. The disturbed surface of the interior is uneven and on it mature holly and oak trees are growing. The flanks of the hillock are obscured by gorse. A souterrain (CO117-008002-) is located near the centre of the interior. According to local information, this is known as a 'fort'. Another rath and souterrain (CO117-009001-, CO117-009002-) are located c. 130m to the NE.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
