The National Monuments Service's description

Killelane burial ground (KE043-157002-) Cill Fhaoláin: Situated on the W slopes of Knocknahoran, this rectangular burial ground is occupied by grave mounds and markers, the possible remains of an earlier circular enclosure, a leacht, 2 cross-slabs and the foundations of a rectangular building.

The rectangular foundation, possibly a house or animal-pen, abuts the S side of the dividing wall and measures 6m NNE-SSW x 1.5m ESE-WNW internally. The drystone walls stand to a maximum height of .83m and are 1.46m thick but have largely collapsed. A rectangular area to S of this is defined at its S and W sides by a low bank 1m wide and .2m high, to N by the dividing wall, and to E by the W wall of the 1st structure.

The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 851. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
