The National Monuments Service's description
Univallate ringfort KE043-059---- encloses the remains of a circular hut (KE043-059001-) and a drystone-built souterrain (KE043-059002-) of uncertain extent. It is situated in rough, fairly level pastureland on the W slopes of Ballysitteragh mountain.
The circular hut in the E sector of the interior is c. 4m in diameter, and its wall, now largely defaced and collapsed, survives to a maximum height of c. 1m.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 444. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
