What is recorded here

In a housing estate, on a steep W-facing slope. Described in 1999 as a kidney-shaped mound (18m E-W; 15m N-S) of heat-shattered stones and charcoal-enriched soil in a ploughed field just E of a country house named 'The Hermitage' on the 1934 OS 6-inch map; yellow soil noted on the S side of the mound may have marked the location of the hearth (SMR file). There are no visible remains of this possible fulacht fia. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
