The National Monuments Service's description
In N side of ringfort (8530). Hartnett (1939, 303) recorded from local information that infilled openings in interior led to 'stone-lined oblong rooms', then closed up. No visible surface trace. Pitt-Rivers investigated souterrains in two ringforts in Mylane c. 1865 and described earth-cut unrevetted chambers in both but it is not possible to determine which ringforts are referred to (Twohig 1987, 43-4).
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.
