The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
Ring-barrow, likely dating to the Early Bronze Age. Its construction and fosse features suggest a significant funerary or ritual site, though its exact function remains unclear due to lack of excavation.
