The National Monuments Service's description
In tillage, on a break of a NE-facing slope. A spread (12m E-W; 8m N-S) of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil. According to local information, the spring well and the small stream indicated on the 1935 OS 6-inch map to the N of the spread, were drained in the 1960s. Another possible burnt mound (CO064-150----) lies c. 160m to the ESE.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
