The National Monuments Service's description
Clochán Bhóthar an Trasnaigh: A circular clochaun KE052-268---- with an inaccessible souterrain. Nearby were 2 stones KE052-268001- & KE052-268003-, each of which had been inscribed with 3 crosses, with expanded terminals in most cases (Macalister 1899, 236-7).
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1463. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
