What is recorded here

There is no trace of the circular clochaun shown here on the OS maps. However, about 30m to NE, across 2 fields, are the very ruined remains of a circular drystone-built structure. D: c. 4m. H: 1.7m. Monks are locally reputed to have resided in this area. The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1369. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 5 August 2013

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed. The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
