Gillman (1896, 422), quoting from a letter from Mr Newenham to Crofton Croker, recorded a stone-lined souterrain on Mr Joyce's farm, in the inner chamber of which was 'a small square aperture as if to admit air'. Also recorded by Windele (1898, 53), who noted that it consisted of 'two bee-hive chambers, formed of stone, and communicating with each other by a creep of about a yard square'. McCarthy (1977, 163, 442) included plan (after Croker). Exact location not known but Windele (ibid.) noted that it was in the second field from the road, near the two-mile stone.
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.
