The National Monuments Service's description
Unlocated possible cashel described by Cuppage (1986, 229, no. 727) as follows; 'On a visit to this townland in 1949 the Co. Kerry Field Club visited 'a small caher with a large beehive-shaped hut outside the wall'. They also visited 2 sites which they described as 'liosacháns '. This term is glossed by Dineen as 'fairy fort' and may refer to a small ringfort or cashel. The sites have not been located and local information suggests they have been levelled.
