On E side of Glanfahan river. A clochaun now obscured by a field clearance cairn. About 7.5m to N, a large horizontal slab, protruding from the hillside, marks the entrance to a drystone-built souterrain passage (KE052-211001-) which is now inaccessible due to the low height (.24m) of the opening. Macalister (1899, 251-2) noted 2 chambers connected by a narrow opening. The outer chamber, aligned WSW-ENE, was 3m long x 1.2m high. The creepway measured .6m high x .3m wide, and the inner chamber was 3m long NNE-SSW x 1.5m wide.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1294. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
