Standing 1m S of a multiple-stone circle (CO130-016----) this boulder-burial consists of a cover-stone split into two pieces. The original block would have been rectangular in shape (1.30m x 1.20m; H 0.55). One section lies at an angle above three support-stones. A possible boulder-burial (CO130-016001-) stands 6m to the N within the stone circle. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). Date of upload: 22 December 2009
