The opening (Wth 4m) faces W towards a waterlogged area. A series of upright stones appear to form a revetment between the curving sides of the opening and the mound. Heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil are exposed at the tip of the S arm of the mound. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.
