The National Monuments Service's description
In rough, rocky pastureland overlooking the Blasket Sound. A circular enclosure, 6.7m in diameter internally, defined by a stone and earth bank, 2.8m wide and .55m high. There is a 2.2m wide entrance gap at E. Abutting the inner face of the bank at SE are the vague traces of a possible hut foundation, 3.8 to 3.2m in diameter.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1539. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
