The National Monuments Service's description
Atkinson (1879-82) records that, in 1862, removal of a capstone (2 feet square) revealed 'a small cavity or kistvaen, containing three or four little cups, and a bronze ring which was placed in the middle'. Cups were subsequently smashed and ring retained by landowner; as no mention of bones in report, Waddell (1990, 58) wonders if 'burial or hoard'.
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.
