The National Monuments Service's description
Not shown on 1842 and 1903 OS 6-inch maps. Hartnett (1939, 159) recorded two stones; one standing '42ins high, 42ins broad and 10ins in average thickness. Near it now lying loosely on the ground is a stone of similar dimensions'. Both removed c. 1945.
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.
