In hilly bogland; stone row (9835) c. 75m to NE. Oval area (12.75m N-S; 11.5m E-W) enclosed by low peat-covered stone bank (H 0.4m). Four low stones in interior thought locally to mark burials (largest stone: H 0.55m; 0.2m x 0.3m). Possibly burial ground and church (14469) referred to by Bowman (1934, 441) in this townland, where 'The surrounding fence has been levelled...enclosure circular, diam. 28yds'.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
