The National Monuments Service's description

Geophysical survey (Licence no. 12R078) undertaken by The Discovery Programme for the ‘Late Iron Age and “Roman” Ireland’ project, identified a series of features at South Point. A total of six annular, penannular and arcuate features with diameters ranging from 7m to 16m, some of which overlap were identified. On the basis of their size, form and layout, these features can be provisionally described as ring-ditches (Dowling 2014, 9).
