What is recorded here
No. I will not write the claim that the chamber is a hidden chamber or present the closed chamber as a chamber. I can continue with an account that distinguishes what is known from what is being imagined.
In pasture, on gentle S-facing slope. Roughly circular area (diam. c. 30m) enclosed by earthen bank (H 1.6m) to S, W and N; external fosse (D 0.5m) NW->NE. To N bank topped by modern stone fence, faced internally with concrete, with no trace of original bank visible internally. Narrow break in bank to SSW; second break to W used as gateway. Concrete surface covers interior which is used as extension to farmyard; concrete shed built at centre.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 4: North Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2000). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
