The National Monuments Service's description

In pasture, on a gentle S-facing slope, to the NW of Riverstick. According to local information, a mass-rock and a cross-inscribed stone (CO098-086----) existed at this location until land reclamation took place here in the past. There is now no visible trace of the mass-rock. The cross-inscribed stone was removed and set into the wall of a farm building c. 400m to the NE.

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