The National Monuments Service's description
According to Westropp (1909), this townland contained 'an earthwork with a low mound and small annex keyhole-shaped in plan. It lies on a cliff, 100 feet high, near Inshaboy Point, or Meenbaun, white flat, as it is now called, though not so marked on the maps.' No surface trace of this site can be found.
The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 1034. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
