The National Monuments Service's description
In shallow peat and rough grass, on a gentle N-facing slope, on the summit Seefin Mountain. This cairn (9m N-S; 11m E-W) comprises a well-defined spread of small rubble stones which are largely masked by peat cover. The cairn appears to have been disturbed and three main areas of exposed stone are visible. The stones in two of the areas have been arranged so as to slightly resemble uncoursed walling. The function of these three internal features, if any, is unclear.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
