Calluragh burial ground (KE044-078005-) and St. Martins Church/Teampall Mártain or An Teampall Liath: This site lies on the floor of the valley that separates the central mountain range from the Sea Hill ridge, and its situation on slightly elevated ground affords it an extensive outlook.
Souterrain (KE044-078003-): The 4 large flagstones exposed on the surface in the W part of the enclosure probably mark the souterrain noted in the OSNB (Minard, 28). They overlie a depression 2m long x .5m wide x .3m deep. Apart from the church, the only other features visible in the interior are a low oval mound to SW of house (1) and an L-shaped mound, less than .5m high, located a little to S of the former.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 830. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
