The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on low-lying pastureland, and the view from it is excellent in all directions. A large early ecclesiastical site (KE002-008003-), it is not marked on the OS maps but shows up quite clearly on aerial photographs taken by the Survey in 1987. The interior is at much the same level as the surrounding land and contained within the interior are the foundations of house-sites and other buildings.
The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 830. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
