The National Monuments Service's description

On a knoll, in rough hill pasture, within a network of field boundaries (CO091-017005-) with excellent views W to Glengarriff Harbour. A rectangular cist (1.1m NE-SW; 0.95m NW-SE; D 0.5m) lined with a single slab on its SW and NW sides, and by two slabs on both its NE and SE sides. The interior is partially filled with bog debris. A slab (1.2m x 0.9m x 0.2m T) lies on the surface immediately to the NW and may have been a cover-stone. A smaller slab (0.85m x 0.55m; x 0.1m T) lies on the ground to the SE. A small mound of stones intermixed with bog debris lies on the ground to the SW and may have been removed from the interior. Two hut sites (CO091-017002-; CO091-017003-) lie c. 40m to the SW.

The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
