Narrow neck of promontory defended by late medieval defences (CO145-002---). According to Westropp (1914, 115), on landward side of these defences, there was a 'straight fosse 40 feet long, 8 feet wide and 6 feet deep at the ends'; this is now a barely perceptible dip in ground- eroded at edges. Casey (2003, 70) noted a possible house site (CO145-003001-) in the interior of the 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.
