On lower S slopes of Mount Eagle, abutting the E side of a N-S field wall. A pair of conjoined huts of corbelled drystone construction, now almost completely obscured by field clearance debris. Du Noyer (1858, 8-9) described them as circular and D-shaped in plan, with a lintelled communicating passage, and an entrance to the exterior from the circular hut. D: c. 5.5m and c. 5.5 x 4.26m. Macalister (1899, 239-40) noted 3 huts at the site.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1257. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
