The souterrain situated in rough, rocky pastureland on the lower W slopes of Ballysitteragh is not now accessible. A series of clearance cairns occupies the centre of a small triangular field, and at the SW edge of one of these is an opening in the roof of a small drystone-walled passage which extends c. 2m to NNE and c. 1m to SW before being blocked by collapse; the gap is not sufficient to allow access. The passage measures .5m in width, a maximum of .6m in height and is roofed by flat slabs. At the SE edge of the clearance cairn is a small opening, only .1m in diameter, which may indicate the location of a further passage or chamber.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 769. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
