The National Monuments Service's description
The sub-rectangular 'Cloghane' marked on the OS Fair Plan, about 9m to N, is now represented by a raised, stony platform, 7.5m x 10.3m x a maximum of .4m high. A setting of 3 low stones form a kerb along the SE edge, and in the W sector are the ruined remains of a crudely-constructed, rectangular, drystone-walled 'pen', 2m x 2m. The available evidence is insufficient to allow classification of this feature though it is unlikely to be associated with the standing stones.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 56. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
