What is recorded here

In pasture. Two slabs (H 0.75m; Wth 1.15m; T 0.15m: H 1.1m; Wth 1.4m; T 0.25m) aligned E-W are 1.9m apart at W end and 1.6m apart at E end (O Nualláin 1982, 45, no. 16). Third stone (L 0.68m; 0.35m x 0.25m), mentioned by Condon (1916, 159, no. 163) as lying 0.38m to N of upright slabs, now lies in between them. O Nualláin (ibid.) suggests stones may be remains of small wedge tomb but that 'evidence is not sufficient to warrant inclusion' in his main list. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 3: Mid Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
