This site, measuring roughly 50 metres east to west and 40 metres north to south, first appeared on the 1842 Ordnance Survey map as a hachured rectangle, split down the middle by a townland boundary running north to south. Today, visitors to this south-facing slope will find the site largely levelled, with only subtle earthworks marking where the eastern portion once stood; a low rise defining the northern, eastern and southern boundaries of what was once a 42 by 34 metre interior space.

The enclosure’s proximity to other historical sites adds layers to its significance. Kilbrin settlement lies just 150 metres to the north-northwest, whilst the medieval church of Kilbrin stands about 400 metres to the east-northeast. By 1937, local memory had christened this location ‘Camp Field’, preserving an oral tradition that Lord Inchiquin’s forces encamped here following the Battle of Knocknanoss in 1647, a claim recorded by historian Bowman in 1934. This connection to one of the bloodiest battles of the Confederate Wars gives the otherwise unremarkable field a tangible link to Ireland’s tumultuous 17th century.

Archaeological surveys have documented this site as part of North Cork’s rich historical landscape, with Barry cataloguing it in 1981 and the Archaeological Inventory of County Cork providing detailed documentation in 2000. Whilst the western side of the townland boundary shows no visible traces today, the eastern portion continues to offer subtle clues to its past; those low earthwork rises that catch the trained eye, marking where defensive walls or banks once stood during more uncertain times.
