The National Monuments Service's description
Clochán na hEaglaise: On steep SE facing mountain slope. A circular corbelled drystone hut. There is a tradition that mass was said here in Penal Times (An Seabhac 1939, 227), but the possible cross-inscribed stone KE034-015002- recorded by the CKFC (1949) could not be located.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1139. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
