Monument destroyed prior to 1896. On 1902 OS 6-inch map, the name 'Bealick' had been transferred c. 50m N, apparently in the belief that the name applied to some outcrop at that place (de Valera and O Nualláin 1982, 28). Early accounts and sketches indicate a gallery, aligned E-W, covered by two roofstones. Two further stones in advance of gallery at W end may represent short portico. (de Valera and O Nualláin 1982, 28, Co. 40)
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.
