The National Monuments Service's description
Clochán Súgach: On a steep, rocky slope, a little below and to W of Beennacouma, overlooking Coumeenoole village. A pair of conjoined hut foundations. D: 4.2m and 4 x 2.5m. H: 1.6m and .5m. Abutting S side of larger structure is a partly sunken, lintelled chamber, interpreted by Macalister (1899, 278) as a souterrain, but more likely to have been a sheep-shelter.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1228. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
