The National Monuments Service's description
Condon (1916, 69, No. 28) recorded stone '51 inches high, 80 inches broad, and 5 inches thick', in this townland. He located it in '....the third field' from pair of standing stones (6562). Grove-White (1905-25, vol.1, 329) located the same stones '....in the second field to the SW of Lissard stone circle (6448) and about 300 yards distant'. Exact location cannot be determined, not known locally.
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.
