On S-facing slope. Discovered during construction of access road; investigated by Rose Cleary (1986, 37), who recorded four earth-cut chambers; due to instability of structure only two were fully examined. Chamber 1: subrectangular (L 4.7m; Wth 1.8m; H 1.6m; long axis NW-SE); present entrance at SE end which is partly covered with soil; infilled construction shaft at NW end; earth-cut 'bench' along NW end (H 0.35m; L 1.3m); creepway to W (L 1.6m; Wth 0.3m; H 0.6m) to chamber 2. Chamber 2: subrectangular (L4m; Wth 1.8m; H 1.65m; long axis NNE-SSW); 'bench' at NE and SW ends similar to that in chamber 1; infilled construction shaft at NE end. Creepway towards N end of W side to chambers 3 and 4 (also subrectangular).
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.
