The National Monuments Service's description
In ringfort (CO071-035----). According to Hartnett (1939, 102) 'inside the fort and south of the centre is a large flag-stone 9 feet by 5 feet, its longer axis running E.W. Although it may be a natural outcrop (of which there are many in the vicinity) it looks more like a souterrain roofing slab'.
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.
