The National Monuments Service's description
Cahernacullia/Cathair na Coille: Roughly circular cashel KE054-073---- lies on the SE slopes of Sea Hill overlooking Dingle Bay.
The foundations of a possible pair of circular conjoined huts abut the W side of the field wall, their E limit now obscured by the latter. The ruined walls stand to a height of c. 0.5m and the structures measure 2.7m and 6.52m x 8.9m internally.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 562. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
