The National Monuments Service's description
In boggy ground, on a gentle S-facing slope and to the N of a stream. A mound of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil was noted here during tree-planting in 2001 (pers. comm. John Roche). The mound is almost completely overgrown with gorse and briars, making measurements impossible. The area immediately around the burnt mound has been recently planted with trees.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
