What is recorded here

On a gently sloping shoulder on a NE-facing slope in the foothills of the Boggeragh Mountains with fine views to the E over the valley of the Awboy River. The remains consist of a gallery (L 1.55m; Wth 0.9m at W, narrowing to 0.55m at E) aligned NW-SE, covered by a single roofstone (2.45m x 2.15m; T 0.35m). The gallery is represented by three sidestones to the N and three to the S with a transversely set jamb-like stone at its W end. The gallery is closed by a backstone at E. Two outer-wall stones to the N of the gallery lean markedly to the N and a large outer-wall stone is set 0.4m outside the backstone at E. A standing stone (CO059-025----) is located c. 140m to the WNW. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
