The National Monuments Service's description
In a farmyard, on a terrace on a S-facing slope with views across the valley of the Mealagh River to Mullaghmesha. According to Myler (1998, 64 no. 41), the wheels of a delivery truck sank into a souterrain chamber in the corner of the farmyard. Local investigators at that time described two chambers extending to the S. There are no visible remains of this souterrain.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
