The National Monuments Service's description
A quadrant-shaped cairn of stones bounded by straight field walls on its SW and SE sides, the latter wall now ruined. It measures 11m NW-SE x c. 14m NE-SW and is up to .98m high. A 2.5m long line of horizontally-laid stones extends NW along the edge of the cairn from the NE end of the ruined wall. It is possible that the cairn simply contains the debris from the removal of the latter.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 227. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
