What is recorded here

In rough pasture, on a promontory projecting E, with high cliffs on three sides, and with views S to High Island and Low Island. Near its W end, the promontory is defended by the remains of an earthen bank (L 6m N-S; Wth 2.1m; H 0.55m) both ends of which are being eroded by the sea. There is an outer fosse (L 6m N-S; Wth 1.8m; D 0.2m) as well as traces of a possible inner fosse (L 6m N-S; Wth 1m; D 0.1m). The interior narrows and slopes gently to the E for a distance of c. 25m. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
