The National Monuments Service's description
Bowman (1934, 449) recorded cairn in J. Murphy's; 'The stones have been cleared away. A circular grass mound marks the site. The diam. is 43ft 7in. The owner remembers two large stones to have been in the centre of this site, (probably the remains of a dolmen). These were broken, and one completely removed. The remaining portion of the other is now 11/2ft high by 2ft 7in by 1ft 5in'. Exact location 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.
