The National Monuments Service's description
According to Fitzgerald (1858, 50) 'a monumental chest of stones' known as 'Leaba na Bo Finne' was destroyed by builders of the deer park walls. He compares it to tumuli found at and near Clasharinka (CO077-008---; CO077-013---). Exact location not known.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
