The National Monuments Service's description
(k) Mound: Located close to the W bank of the river, directly opposite the fulacht fiadh (i), this irregularly-shaped mound measures c. 8m in diameter x a maximum of 1.15m in height. It appears to be composed of earth and is revetted on its E side by a few boulders. It may be a partly natural feature.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 25. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
