The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture overlooking Gradoge River to NW; quarry adjacent to SW. No visible surface trace of site. Described by OS (O Nualláin 1984, 46) as 'a double circle of small stones, almost flush with the ground, which may mark the base of a hut.' Inspected by OPW in 1961 who concluded that hut 'does not appear to be ancient'; landowner given permission to demolish in 1961.
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.
