Situated in wet marshy land, on the SE slopes of Ballydavid Head, this site consists of a small circular enclosure measuring 6.8m in diameter internally. The enclosing earthen bank stands to a maximum height of 1.77m externally and .75m internally, but along the E side of the site it is reduced to only .2m in height and is overlain by a NNW-SSE field wall. There is a .6m wide gap at SE. Two mounds of stone, 1 to 2m long and .4m high, project into the interior from the W part of the bank.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1529. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
