The National Monuments Service's description
In level scrubland, recently planted with trees. A roughly circular mound (8m E-W; 7.5m N-S; H 0.2m) of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil. A NW-SE drain cuts across the centre of the mound exposing the mound material in section. Two possible burnt mounds (CO032-239002-, CO032-239003-) lie c. 45m to the SSE and ENE, respectively.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
