In tillage, a short distance S of Inchydoney Church (CO135-104004-). Discovered April 1985. Cleary (1989, 30-1) describes six earth-cut chambers. Chambers 1, 3 and 4 are rectangular in plan; others are irregular. Lintelled creepway on NE side of chamber 1 may be original entrance; second inaccessible creepway on S side may lead to further chambers. Cleary notes that 'the creepway to chamber 5 is unusual in that it consists of a circular opening, about 70cm wide, and decends by a steep drop into chamber 5'. Construction shafts occur in chambers 5 and 6. Numerous rat bones on floor of chamber 6 but these are 'medieval and later in date'.
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.
