The National Monuments Service's description
Hartnett (1939, 179) recorded a 'small opening 13in by 7in' which 'gives access to a chamber 6ft by 2ft. The walls are stone-lined and inclined towards the top. Four transverse lintels form the roof'. The floor was 'littered with debris' and 'it was not possible to see if there was an opening to a second chamber'. No visible surface trace.
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.
