What is recorded here

In blanket bog, near the E edge of the relatively flat summit of Hungry Hill. This subcircular cairn (7.5m E-W; 6.4m N-S; max. H 1.2m), which protrudes above the bog, consists of stones that vary in both shape and size. Loose stones to the E of the cairn appear to have been removed from the centre, where there is now a depression. Some large stone slabs were also noted in this area. The stones in the depression are lying in a haphazard state. An Ordnance Survey triangulation pillar is situated c. 170m to the ENE. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
