The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on the lower W slopes of Ballysitteragh mountain, bivallate rath KE043-081---- contains the remains of at least 2 hut-sites and a possible souterrain.
(4) (KE043-081005-) The foundations of a circular hut have been noted at the SW corner of the central platform (Orpen 1910, 252-3), but the arc of facing now visible at this location appears to delimit the platform rather than a hut.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 323. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
