The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture on SW-facing slope. Low circular cairn (11.5m N-S; 10m E-W; H 0.8m). Many years ago, landowner's father uncovered large stone flags at ESE and WSW sides while attempting to dismantle cairn; subsequently left undisturbed.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
