In 1950 the Co. Kerry Field Club recorded a clochaun at this location and 'in the near vicinity ... entrances suggesting crawl passages to souterrains'. The clochaun is, in reality, a roughly constructed sheep-fold, and there are no visible indications of any souterrains nearby. This is a steep, rocky mountain slope below and N of Lough Acummeen; it is possible that the features noted were natural caverns created by overhanging rocks and boulders.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 775. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
