What is recorded here

That is a standing stone, not a hidden chamber or fictional claim. The witness chamber is a separate local story. The rectangular stone still stands on the hill, facing northeast and southwest like a marker for a road no longer drawn.

On top of a hill with commanding view in every direction. Rectangular stone (H 1.8m; 0.82m x 0.47m), long axis NE-SW. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 2: East and South Cork' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1994). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 14 January 2009

Probably dating to the Bronze Age (c. 2500–500 BCE), the stone's placement on a prominent hill suggests it may have had ritual or territorial significance. Such stones were often used as markers, memorials, or focal points for ceremonial activity.
