The National Monuments Service's description
This low-lying, level field, less than 500m E of Trabeg, was recently deep-ploughed and in the process a low, grass-covered mound was removed. When inspected, the remains consisted of burnt and shattered stones, intermingled with a large quantity of charcoal and spread over a sub-circular area about 7.5m in diameter. A small stream flows along the side of the field about 15m to N and the field is known as ‘Páirc an tSeana-Mhuilinn’ (An Seabhac 1939, 155).
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 248. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
