The National Monuments Service's description
Circular enclosure KE043-028002-, in use until the 19th century as a calluragh burial ground (KE043-028001-) (OSNB Dingle, book 2, 20), is situated on the S side of the valley that lies between the W spurs of Brandon Peak and Ballysitteragh mountain. The foundations of 3 huts can be traced within the enclosure, and the remainder of the interior is completely taken up with graves.
Huts: (1) (KE043-028003-) Abutting the enclosure wall at W, this rectangular structure measures c. 5m E-W x 2.68m N-S internally and its walls stand to a maximum height of .6m. Its W end is no longer traceable and the band of stone collapse in the interior may represent an internal dividing wall.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 841. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
