The National Monuments Service's description
Ashe (1954, 29) noted two 'splendid' souterrains in this townland. One (KE045-103----) has been identified but the other, in a field named Páirc na nÓn, has not been located. Neither the field name (noted also by AnSeabhac 1939, 308) nor the monument are remembered locally.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 781. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
