In the SE quadrant of a rath (CO138-005----), which is now covered by a dense overgrowth of briars and gorse. According to local information, a large stone covers the entrance to the souterrain. Due to the overgrowth, it was not possible to locate this stone.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
