What is recorded here

In pasture, at the base of a SSE-facing slope and adjacent to a large limestone quarry. This souterrain was discovered in 2000. A collapsed opening (L 2m) revealed a single stone-built chamber (2.75m N-S; 1.3m E-W; H 1.14m). The walls are of random rubble and are corbelled. The N half of the chamber is filled with earth and stones from the collapse. One cracked lintel remains in situ at the S end of the chamber. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
