The National Monuments Service's description
On gentle W-facing slope at head of valley of tributary of Keel River. Comprises partly collapsed gallery (L c. 3m) aligned NNW-SSE, apparently incorporating outcropping rock as gallery sides at S end. Upright slab divides entrance to N; outer walling survives along E and is doubled at NW side. Gallery covered by two roofstones. Field clearance material piled at N end of monument. Interpretation as wedge-tomb consistent with surviving remains; use of outcropping rock may account for atypical orientation. Wedge-tomb (6386) 800m to SW.
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.
