The National Monuments Service's description
In a farmyard, on a S-facing slope overlooking the mouth of Bantry Bay. In the course of reconstruction work in the farmyard some years ago the ground collapsed revealing underground passages (H c. 1.25m). It was not possible to examine the passages and they were subsequently covered over. A possible rath (CO127-038001-) and a children's burial ground (CO127-038002-) lie c. 100m to the SSW.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
