Situated on the lower S slopes of Knockmoylemore, c. 5m W of a small stream, this site consists of a roughly oval mound with a smaller crescent-shaped mound located c. 2m from its W end. This latter is c. 7m long and up to .5m high. The larger mound, composed mainly of stone with some clay intermingled, measures 11.2m E-W, 9.3m N-S and from .2 to 1.07m in height. A very slight depression is discernible towards the centre. The majority of those stones which can be inspected do not appear to have been in contact with fire, but some burnt stones are present suggesting the site may be a fulacht fiadh.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 240. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
