The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on the N side of a road in undulating countryside to the N of Dunmanway. In the 1930s an earth-cut souterrain was discovered here (NMI file). It was described as consisting of three chambers joined by a small passage. According to local information in 2005, it extends N from under a road and roadside fence and into the pasture field. It has been closed up and there are no visible remains of it.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
