The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on a gentle S-facing slope of the relatively high ground around Kilwatermoy Mountain. It is also on the E-W county boundary with Cork at a point where the boundary (WA033-013001-) changes direction slightly, and c. 60m E of the Youghal to Tallow road (R634). It is marked as a possible megalithic structure only on a 1716 Bateman map (NLI, MSS 6148-9). Nothing remarkable is visible at the location.
