The National Monuments Service's description
Enclosure: Precipitous cliffs define the E side of the mountain's summit. The various features associated with the pilgrimage site are grouped close to those cliffs, enclosed by a semi-circular, stony bank, up to 1m high. What appear to be the remains of 2 outer walls are visible outside this bank from the air (Pouchin Mould 1972, 67).
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage (compiler) 'Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey.' Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne (1986), no. 818. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
