The National Monuments Service's description
Roughly circular enclosure KE054-013---- lies about 50m from the N bank of the Glaunshavanowen river.
A large oval depression, 9.3m E-W x 4m N-S x .5m deep, abuts the N side of the latter. There are possible traces of a hut foundation abutting the W part of the bank but these are confused by several stony mounds which probably mark graves.
The presence of the internal structures suggests that this site is more than just a burial ground. Perhaps it was formerly a rath or an early ecclesiastical settlement. The Ardamore cross-slab (KE054-015----) was discovered about 475m to SE.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 878. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
