In rough gorse and heather-covered grazing, on a S-facing slope overlooking a sandy beach. According to Daly (2000, 47), an irregular-shaped boulder (3.7m N-S; 1.2m E-W; H 0.8m) was used as a mass-rock in the past. A rectangular hollow (10cm x 8cm) on the upper surface of the boulder was, according to the landowner, used to hold a chalice. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
