What is recorded here

Monument destroyed prior to 1896. On 1902 OS 6-inch map, the name 'Bealick' had been transferred c. 50m N, apparently in the belief that the name applied to some outcrop at that place (de Valera and O Nualláin 1982, 28). Early accounts and sketches indicate a gallery, aligned E-W, covered by two roofstones. Two further stones in advance of gallery at W end may represent short portico. (de Valera and O Nualláin 1982, 28, Co. 40) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume IV. Counties Cork, Kerry, Limerick, Tipperary. (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1982)

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record CO093-022002
