Boulder-burial in Cooragreenane

In rough hill grazing, on a fern and gorse-covered terrace on a N-facing slope overlooking Inchigeela and Lough Allua. An irregularly shaped boulder (1.45m N-S; 1.35m E-W; H 1.1m) rests on three stones (H 0.07-0.25m), the largest of which supports its N side. A loose stone, resting against the S side, appears to be a recent addition. A glacial erratic is 1m to the E. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.

Boulder-burial, likely dating to the Neolithic or early Bronze Age. This type of monument is significant as it represents a rare and early form of megalithic funerary practice in the region.
