The National Monuments Service's description
Situated in level marshy land in the valley of the Milltown river, this site consists of a sub-circular enclosure which is bisected E-W by the townland boundary fence and by a field drain. It measures c. 10m in diameter internally but the S half of the bank, shown on the 2nd edition of the OS map, does not survive. The bank enclosing the N half of the site is c. 2m wide at base, .3 to .5m high externally and .75 to 1m high internally; it is composed of both earth and stone and is densely overgrown.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1545. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
