What is recorded here
No visible chamber or clear function survives, only a shallow ring of mixed stone half-swallowed by gorse and sod on an east-facing slope above cutaway bog. The nearby hut and old field lines suggest people lived around this mark, perhaps aiming it at sunrise or simply claiming a place on open hill.
In rough hill pasture, in an area of cutaway bog, on an E-facing slope and within a network of relict field boundaries (CO115-106004-). This circular cairn (diam. 3.6m; H 0.6m), which consists of a variety of stones, is partially obscured by gorse-covered sod, though some stones are exposed along the E and W arcs. There is a hut site (CO115-106003-) c. 25m to the SW.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
