The National Monuments Service's description
Two entrances to souterrains (c. 10m apart) recorded by Hartnett (1939, 108), who noted that chambers are 'excavated in the sub-soil and have collapsed internally thus making them impossible to examine'. Openings still visible; inaccessible.
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.
