On the S side of the 'Sheep's Head Way' walking route. A possible cairn (L c. 5m; Wth c. 2m) was recorded in Rooska East townland in 1997. It was described as being slightly wedge-shaped, on an E-W orientation and comprised a pile of relatively large-sized stones (pers. comm. Dr D.D.C. Pochin Mould). A subsequent inspection of the general area in April 2008 failed to locate this possible cairn.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
