The thickness is 19 inches'. He (ibid.) comments 'I am not sure that it is a gallaun'. Location of field noted in topographic files, UCC. Exact location not known.
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.
