Today this site has been completely ploughed out and a faint trace of an enclosing bank running from E to S can still be seen, though now barely distinguishable. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 1027.

From the National Monuments Service (Archaeological Survey of Ireland) record KE005-089
