Situated about 8m from the W bank of the Garfinny river, in fairly marshy land, this site consists of a long mound, 5.4m N-S x 2.5m E-W, within which is a drystone-built chamber which opens off its S end. The chamber measures at least 2.7m in length x .53m in width, and it is roofed by a series of large slabs at a height of c. 1m above the floor; the N end of the chamber is blocked by collapse. An opening or vent in the roof measures .2 x .15m. The side walls are continued beyond the entrance for 1.8m, this section being unroofed.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1562. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
