Donated to UCC (CO074-149---- ) from the collection of Admiral Boyle Somerville (1938, 59) and said to come from Gortbrac farm. Shee (1968, 146-149) describes the stone which measures '147cm x 70cm and approximately 13cm thick', decorated with 'cupmarks, circles and grooves'. The motifs include a cup-and-circle with radial line; a deep cupmark with concentric pennannular circle and radial line, and a cupmark enclosed in an arc which is 'divided from the rest of the decoration by a well picked arc'.
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.

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.
