What is recorded here

Kilbronoge holds a small ruined wedge tomb where two sidestones and a fallen backstone still shelter beneath a single roofstone. The chamber faces southwest on a rocky ridge, waiting for breath or memory to move through its narrow opening. No mound remains to mark the place, yet the stones still lean together like hands holding a secret.

To S of crest of rocky ridge, just W of large rock outcrop. Small ruined chamber (L c. 2m; Wth 1.9m at W) open to SW, represented by two sidestones and fallen backstone, covered by single roofstone. No indications of surrounding mound. (O Nualláin 1989, 136) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cork.
