The National Monuments Service's description

In marshy rough grazing land, between two drainage channels. A barely discernible kidney-shaped mound (10m N-S; 10m E-W) of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil. The opening (Wth 4m) faces W and is full of reeds. The surface of the mound is concave as if some material has been removed from it.

The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
