In deciduous woodland. Shown on 1939 OS 6-inch map as small circular mound in demesne of Ardrum House (CO073-009----). Flat circular area (diam. 10.1m) enclosed by low earthen bank (H 0.5m). Identified by Hartnett (1939, 224) as fulacht fiadh. No evidence of fulacht fiadh found. Woodland cleared c. 1984 and site now heavily overgrown. Similar feature (CO073-007001-) and standing stone (CO073-007002-) c. 150m to SE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.
