What is recorded here

Between two knolls on a tract of rough undulating land with outcropping rock, in River Lee valley some 140m N of loop of river. Monument is very ruined. Two orthostats at right-angles indicate gallery (L 1.65m), aligned perhaps E-W. Prostrate slab to N may be displaced sidestone. Cannot be classified with certainty; interpretation as a wedge tomb not inconsistent with present evidence. (de Valera and O Nualláin 1982, 21, Co. 29) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume IV. Counties Cork, Kerry, Limerick, Tipperary. (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1982)
