The National Monuments Service's description
According to local information, Y-junction in road known as "the kill". No surface evidence of burials. Cremen (1909, 54) referred to '...ancient keel which abuts on the roadway...in a perfect state of preservation...with its miniature mounds and flagged graves....'. Unclear whether reference is to this site or another burial ground (CO050-089----) in this townland.
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.
