Cathair an Easpaig: There is a local tradition that a little church KE043-003001- once stood on this spot.
There are 2 hollows near the NE side of the mound and in one of these a short section of drystone walling is preserved. The latter is probably part of the wall of a clochaun which would have had an internal diameter of at least 4m. It is not clear from the surviving remains what this site originally consisted of or how it should be classified. The name and the presence of a hut site suggest that it was a cashel, but tradition suggests it was a church site.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 970. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
