Donated to UCC from the collection of Admiral Boyle Somerville (1938, 59) and said to come from Bluid. Shee (1968, 149) describes a stone '75cm x 50cm and approximately 10cm thick' with 'cupmarks on both faces'. Face A has eight cup-marks, linearly arranged; face B has fourteen cup-marks arranged in semi-circular patterns. The stone is now in the Cork Public Museum (see CO074-181----).
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.
