Hartnett (1939, 234) noted oval area (c. 60m E-W; c. 50m N-S), enclosed by field fence SW->SE, 'slight ridge' SE->SW. He was informed locally that it was 'an old burial ground for children and ill-luck followed any person who tilled or in any way interfered with it'. Area remains unploughed and as described by Hartnett. No evidence of burials but uneven ground surface noted.
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.
