The National Monuments Service's description
In a possible rath (CO027-212002-). A drystone-built beehive-shaped chamber with a corbelled roof was discovered here during silage cutting when the apex of the roof collapsed. The chamber was partially filled with earth. An opening to the S, which was only partially visible, probably leads to a second chamber or passage but this was inaccessible. (pers. comm. Eamonn Cotter)
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
