The National Monuments Service's description
According to local information, the ground collapsed here in the late 20th century, possibly indicating an underground chamber of a souterrain. There are no visible remains of it. A souterrain (CO070-126----) was discovered c. 100m to the NE in the same field in 2002.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
