The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill grazing, in a hollow on the SW-facing slopes of the Maughanaclea Hills. An uninscribed upright stone (H 0.5m; 0.37m x 0.1m) stands in the centre of a circular grass-covered cairn (c. 3m x 3m; H 0.15m). It is known locally as 'the soldier's grave' (Myler 1998, 60). An enclosure (CO106-084----) and a wedge tomb (CO106-062----) lie c. 60m to the SW and c. 180m to the NE, respectively.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
