The National Monuments Service's description
In a heavily overgrown and marshy area, to the S of a track. According to local information, there are at least 17 cupmarks on the surface of outcropping rock. Owing to the overgrowth, the area proved too difficult and dangerous to access.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
