The National Monuments Service's description
Discovered during the excavation of ringfort (8468) in 1984. O Donnabháin (forthcoming) notes 'fragments of an Early Bronze Age encrusted urn and amber pommel mount were found in the fill of the construction trench [of the souterrain (8912)] and presumably represents a burial that was disturbed during the building of the souterrain'.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
