Found during excavation (Leask and Price 1936, 77-101) of portico area of wedge tomb (CO027-086---). 'At the western end of the monument ...we found an arrangment of slabs which appeared to form a cist' (ibid. 90). Some unburnt bones and two 'very small pieces of what appeared to be a food vessel' (ibid.) were recovered; 'unclassifiable' according to O'Ríordáin and Wadell (1993, 94). Two apparent slab sockets were noted c. 2m further N, one of which contained 'a fragment of the rim of a decorated pot' (Leask and Price 1936, 90), leading the excavators to speculate that this may have been a second cist.
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.
