The National Monuments Service's description
In centre of hill-top enclosure (CO066-01001-). Noted by O'Kelly (1945, 19) as 'an elongated hollow' indicating 'the position of a collapsed souterrain'. This hollow is still noticeable. O'Kelly states that an ogham stone (CO066-009---) was found used as a roofing slab in this souterrain but Barry (1897, 41-4), who first described the ogham stone does not imply this.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
