This one in Hightown, County Cork, survives as nothing at all. A circular enclosure once stood on a north-facing pasture slope here, roughly ten metres across, the kind of modest enclosed space that appears in considerable numbers across the Irish countryside and likely served a farmstead or some form of bounded settlement in the early medieval period. Today, levelled and without any visible surface trace, it exists almost exclusively as a mark on paper.

What we know comes from the Ordnance Survey's six-inch map of 1842, which recorded the enclosure as a clear circular feature. By the time the site was formally catalogued in the Archaeological Inventory of County Cork, published in 1994, it had already been described as levelled. The ten-metre diameter is a modest measurement, smaller than many comparable enclosures in the region, which can range from farmyard-scale rings to much larger ceremonial or defensive works. Whether this one was a simple ringfort, which in Ireland typically denotes an enclosed early medieval farmstead defined by an earthen bank and ditch, or something else entirely, the surviving record does not say. What the 1842 map captured may itself have been a degraded remnant of something older, the cartographers recording what they could observe without being able to interpret it further.
