The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on level ground on the summit of the low rise that borders Dingle Bay between the entrances to Dingle Harbour and Trabeg, this site consists of a small, slightly raised circular area, 4m in diameter, enclosed by a bank measuring .75m in height and lm in width. The dense vegetation prevents a close examination of the bank but it appears to be composed of both stone and earth. There is a possible entrance at N. The site is known locally as a fort.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1532. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
