The National Monuments Service's description
In NW quadrant of ringfort (CO072-050001-). Hartnett (1939, 136) was informed locally of an underground chamber with 'stone-lined walls and lintelled roof', running from 'inside the entrance at the north, in a south-westerly direction'. Discovered c. 1925 while ploughing interior (ibid.). Hollows in SW quadrant may indicate position.
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.
