The National Monuments Service's description
In NE quadrant of levelled ringfort (CO038-02501-). Discovered during levelling of ringfort and investigated by Walsh (1964, 60-1) and M.J. O'Kelly, who described two chambers joined by creepway. Chamber 1: stone-built (L 2.4m; Wth 1m; H 1m; long axis N-S); walls corbelled and roofed with lintels; present access to chamber through collapsed roof. One lintel 'exhibited on its downward face a polished area on which there was a group of pin-grooves' (ibid., 60). Creepway (Wth 0.27m; H 0.5m) at E side of N end, leading to second collapsed inaccessible chamber (long axis E-W). No visible surface trace.
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.
