The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on a high point on the crest of a rocky ridge extending to the SW from Mount Gabriel. A roughly circular cairn (1.5m E-W; 1.4m N-S; H 1.8m) is bottle-like in elevation. It contains a variety of stone sizes, with the larger stones at the base. The cairn is on a hill-walking route along this ridge and, while it appears to have been rebuilt in recent times, it is possible that a much older cairn originally stood here.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
