There is no visible trace of the circular cashel marked on the OS maps. It was located c. 300m from the seashore on the broad coastal plain that borders Tralee Bay. It was about 2 chains (c. 40m) in diameter and formed of large stones (OSNB Killiney, book 2, 6). There was reputedly a souterrain within the enclosure and 'large bones were found in it when removing the stones in 1832'.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 639. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

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.
