On lower S slopes of Mount Eagle. Described by Macalister (1899, 219) as a multiple clochaun with 4 or 5 chambers lying in a N-S line. The site is now reduced to a cairn of stones, in the S end of which can be seen the foundation of a circular structure, 4m in diameter. This has an entrance at E, and a 2nd entrance at N which leads into a sub-rectangular enclosure, 5 x 3.5m, which is defined by a grass-grown bank or wall. About 2m to N of the latter is an arc of bank possibly indicating the position of a 3rd structure.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1266. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
