The National Monuments Service's description
On scrub-covered rounded hilltop; no visible surface trace of cairn. Depicted as cairn and named 'Seehaunnamnafinna' on 1842 OS 6-inch map; 1905 and 1935 OS 6-inch maps show no antiquity at this spot but on adjacent hilltop (which overlooks site), c. 800m SSE, both editions depict a cairn named 'Seehaunnamnafinna' (see 11796).
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.
