The National Monuments Service's description
Gillman (1896, 422), quoting from a letter from Mr Newenham to Crofton Croker, recorded a stone-lined souterrain at 'Kilcrumpher'. McCarthy (1977, 269-70), after Croker, described two beehive cells joined by creepway; cell 1 entered by creepway orientated along same line as creepway to cell 2. Exact location not known but possibly in the townland of Lisnasallagh as is the church of Kilcrumper (CO027-11401-).
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.
