On the floor of a large valley amongst the sand-hills at the base of the Magharees Peninsula, Knowles (1901, 258) recorded a large number of shell middens composed of shells of cockles, periwinkles, oysters and limpets. Also noted were hammer stones, broken and split stones, a small boulder from which flakes had been removed to create a cutting edge, and bones and teeth of bear, red deer, horse and a cetaceous animal.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 22. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
