Situated in rough pasture on a gentle ESE facing slope of Lateevemore, commanding an extensive view, particularly SE towards Dingle Harbour. A circular platform, 12m in diameter, is enclosed by a fosse, 1.5m wide, and an external bank c. 3m wide, the overall diameter averaging 23m. The bank measures c. 0.45m high externally, .9 to 1.1m high internally, and the platform rises about .25m above the base of the fosse. Two causewayed entrances, to ESE and WNW, provide access to the interior, that to WNW varying in width from 1.1m at the middle to 2m at either end, that to ESE being somewhat disturbed but measuring 1.7m to 2m in width. The latter causeway is raised very slightly above the level of the field beyond, and a large stone is visible at its NE edge; it is unclear whether or not this latter is naturally positioned. A number of disused field boundaries occur to N and W of the site, and the exterior of the bank at N has been disturbed by one of these, possibly even providing some of the material for its construction. 9.5m to N is a possible standing stone (KE043-123001-) .7m high and .75m wide, its long axis aligned ESE-WNW. About 150m to E is a 2nd larger standing stone (KE043-124----). The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter.

Lissaghbaun/Liosach Bán: Situated on a steep SE facing slope about 75m from a small stream, at the NE end of the Lateevemore ridge. On the 1st edition of the OS map the site was shown as a circular enclosure with a clochaun in its W sector. On the 2nd edition it is marked 'site of’. There is now no trace of the enclosure, nor does the steep hillside appear to have been terraced to accomodate such a feature. The roughly circular clochaun measures 3.67 to 3.85m in diameter internally and the wall is for the most part reduced to a mound of stone collapse, 2.2 to 3m wide. The drystone-built wall facing is preserved only at the N jamb of the entrance and for 2 short stretches internally. It is a maximum of 1.03m in height. The floor of the structure was excavated into the steep hillslope and now lies .48m below the external ground level on the uphill side. The entrance at ENE is .7m wide and 1.3m long. The approach to the entrance is flanked on either side by collapsed drystone-walling which defines a small court or yard measuring 3m ENE-WSW and 2.85m WNW-ESE.
