The National Monuments Service's description
'Pairc na gCruiscin - Field of the Pitchers - It is said that many years ago, several 'vessels' were found in this field - these were undoubtedly Cinerary Urns. Exhaustive enquiries failed to elicit any further information.' (Bowman 1934, 122). Location of field not known.
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.
