On S slopes of Mount Eagle, overlooking Dingle Bay. A pair of conjoined huts of which only the uphill N part of the wall is traceable. D: estimated 4.2m and 4m. H: .4m. About 15 to 20m to S, at the junction of 3 field walls, a 3rd clochaun was noted on the OS maps and by Macalister (1899, 244). Very little survives.
