The National Monuments Service's description
A possible pre-bog field wall, represented by 4 upright slabs forming a roughly N-S line c. 50m long. The stones were .66m, 1.41m and 1.22m in height, and the 4th protruded only slightly above the surface of the bog. The field in which they were located was reclaimed in 1985, and the wall destroyed; prior to that the field was wet and marshy and covered with an undetermined depth of peat.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 30. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
