What is recorded here

On a gentle E-facing slope, at the foot of a ridge that rises sharply to the SE. A roughly circular peat-covered cairn (diam. c. 6m; max. H 0.5m) with a slight central hollow. Three radially set stones, two in the E sector (0.4m x 0.07m; 0.3m x 0.2m) and one at W (0.7m x 0.1m), protrude though the cairn. A further two slabs, one (0.57m x 0.3m; T 0.15m) partially embedded and the other (0.8m x 0.5m; T 0.15m) lying on the surface, are located in the E sector of the cairn and, in addition, two small loose stones lie on top of the cairn. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
