The National Monuments Service's description
In tillage, near road. No visible surface trace. According to Ó Riordain (1931, 64) a whitethorn bush grew over it and 'rounds are no longer paid here'.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
