Long cist cemetery; no exact location. Cremen (1924, 71) examined stone-lined cist on McCarthy's land, measuring '5ft 4in long, 18ins wide and 13ins deep'; removal of covering slab revealed 'a small quantity of human bones'. From position of bones Cremen suggests 'interred in a cramped or kneeling position', and records landowner saying he has frequently uncovered similar sites.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

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.
