The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, near the base of an ESE-facing slope and just above waterlogged ground. A large grass-covered spread (c. 32m NE-SW; c. 20m NW-SE) of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil. The shape of the spread could not be determined due to the grass cover. Burnt material was also visible in the V-shaped drain dug along the N side of the field boundary. Another possible burnt mound (CO063-110----) lies c. 250m to the SW.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
