The National Monuments Service's description
A roughly circular, flat-topped mound situated on the lower S slopes of the valley through which the Owencashla river flows. It is composed mainly of stone, with some clay intermingled, and is now partly grass-grown. It measures 7.1m x 6.2m at base and is a maximum of c. 1m high. A tree is growing at the NW edge and much of the W sector is very disturbed. The mound is incorporated into what appears to be a disused field boundary which is marked partly by a low scarp and partly by a line of tree stumps.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 226. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
