Roughly circular cashel KE054-075----, located about 150m W of KE054-076----, contains the ruined remains of 2 stone huts.
Directly W of KE054-075001- is a 2nd larger hut with a maximum internal diameter of 5.6m; the wall is c. 1.5m thick but is not preserved to any great height. The entrance passage at N is .95m wide. Three chambers, possibly sheep-shelters, have been built into the thickness of the wall of the hut.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 560. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
