The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, c. 50m NW of ringfort (8573). Stone (H 1.6m; 1.0m x 0.6m) is rectangular in plan, long axis N-S. A number of scorings, apparently artificial, noted on its upper surface. These were thought to be ogham inscriptions by Brash (1879, 152) but were rejected by Macalister (1945, 121), although he did not see them himself. Hartnett (1939, 122) and Brash (ibid.) also noted 'several cup-marks on its eastern face'. Cup-marked stone (CO072-146---) c. 5.5m to W.
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.
