What is recorded here
Mortons and others have measured the same conifer shadow, yet the flat earth and eastern gap remain unchanged. Human life may have filled that space before memory faded, but the facts still distinguish an ordinary field from a chamber built for another kind of visitor.
In forest, planted with conifers. Roughly circular area (c. 24.5m N-S; c. 28.4m E-W) defined by low bank (H 0.65m). Gap (Wth 2.5m) to E. Interior level.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
