The National Monuments Service's description
Ulligadrevil/Ulaidh an Draghbháil: This site consists of an ovate enclosure within which are the possible remains of hut sites and graves.
It is difficult to classify this site from a surface inspection alone but it may have been a ringfort which was later re-used as a calluragh burial ground.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1552. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
