The National Monuments Service's description
According to Ó Ríordáin (1933, 19) 'in Buckley's the ring in the surface of the field plainly marks the position of the lios', diameter 'about 30 yards'.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
