The National Monuments Service's description
No visible trace survives of the 'cathair, consisting of a court with chambers, in the wall' recorded here by Macalister (1899, 234). Located on the SE slopes of Mount Eagle.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 678. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
