KE052-046001- lies in rough, rocky pastureland on the SW slopes of Caherard Hill overlooking Ventry Harbour.
The souterrain KE052-046002- noted on the 1st edition of the OS map runs under the field wall which defines the NE side of the platform. On the SW side, the drystone-built side walls are visible for a length of 2.5m and define an area, possibly the entrance, .5m wide and .25m deep. A depression on the other side of the wall may indicate the line of a further section of the souterrain. A tall standing stone, located adjacent to the NE side of the field wall, on line with the enclosing bank, may have been part of an entrance feature; it stands 1.45m high.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 552. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
