The National Monuments Service's description
Marked 'Dermot and Grania's Bed' on the 1841-42 and 1914-15 OS maps. On the earlier edition it appears as a circular enclosure (KE001-025----), whereas on the later edition it would appear to be marked as a depression. 'Situated in the T.Land of Kilconly South. A small fort at the brink of the River Shannon. Deermud was one of the Irish Champions called Feenthin. This is not a Cromlech but a mere hollow in the cliff so called.' (O'Donoghue, OSNB, 123).
The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 6. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
