The National Monuments Service's description

In pasture, on the lower N-facing slopes of Tooreennamna Mountain. A grass-covered crescent-shaped mound (4.6m N-S; 3.3m E-W; H 0.25m) of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil with the opening (Wth 2.3m) facing S. Sheep have worn paths across the mound, exposing traces of the mound material. A burnt mound (CO102-005002-) lies c. 10m to the NW and another fulacht fia (CO102-005004-) lies c. 10m to the SE.

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