The National Monuments Service's description
Lisnakilla/Lios na Cille: A large subrectangular enclosure situated less than 1km N of Anascaul, on a NE facing slope about 200m W of the Owenascaul river. The foundations of several rectangular house sites lie within the enclosure but there is no visible trace of the souterrain (KE044-065007-) which was discovered many years ago in the SW sector (local information).
Bullaun stones: (1) (KE044-065004-) Incorporated into a field wall about 11m from the SE corner of the enclosure. The stone is triangular in shape and measures .65m x at least .7m x at least. 15m thick. It is unworked except for 2 circular depressions near the edge of one face. These measure .26m in diameter x .12m in depth and .2m in diameter x .05m in depth.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 811. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
