The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, in an area of cutaway bog, on a SE-facing slope and within a network of relict field boundaries (CO115-106004-). This oval-shaped cairn (4m NW-SE; 2.9m NE-SW; H 0.55m) is largely obscured by gorse-covered sod, though some stones are exposed along the SE arc. There is another cairn (CO115-106006-) situated 16m to the NE.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
