Megalithic structure in Cloghvoolia South

In forest on E-facing slope, in headwaters of narrow valley of tributary of River Blackwater. Monument is very ruined due to forest planting. Remains of possible chamber (Wth c. 1m), aligned E-W, represented by three contiguous uprights (c. 0.45m-0.9m H) on N side and single upright (0.5m H) on S side. Further upright stone (0.4m H) stands 3.8m to W. Remains could well be last vestiges of megalithic tomb but insufficient survives to warrant acceptance. 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. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
