What is recorded here

Discovered March 1984. Cleary (1989, 27-8) records at least three earth-cut chambers. Chamber 1 rectangular in plan; roof collapsed; infilled creepway at E end may have been original entrance shaft. Chamber 2 to SE of chamber 1; square in plan. Creephole on W side of chamber 1 to third chamber which is circular in plan. Blocked-up creephole in chamber 3 may have led to further chambers. Possibly associated with ploughed-out ringfort (CO122-094001-) which according to Cleary is 'still visible as low banks'. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 1: West Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1992). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009
