The National Monuments Service's description
The circular univallate enclosure marked on the OS maps survives only as a platform abutting the S side of an E-W field wall. The platform is c. 21m in diameter and less than .5m high. It was located on an E facing slope overlooking Minard.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 721. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
