The National Monuments Service's description
In a disused gravel-pit in an area of rough pasture, on a S-facing slope overlooking Berehaven Harbour and Bear Island. According to local information 'a box-like structure of stone slabs, which contained some bones', was discovered by County Council workers in the 1940s in the course of removing gravel from this pit for road repairs. This structure is no longer visible.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
