A calluragh burial ground situated on the lower W slopes of Beennacouma, overlooking Coumeenoole strand. It consists of a large, irregularly-shaped stone and earth mound which measures approximately 13m N-S x 8 to 10m E-W. It rises only a little above the external ground level on the uphill side but is 2m high at W. A semi-circular curve in the N-S field wall that skirts its W side may indicate the site of a clochaun. Two small cairns of stone, on the W and S sides of the mound, support the cross-slabs, each of which is inscribed with a plain cross on its present W face.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 894. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
