The National Monuments Service's description
Univallate cahir KE009-007---- consists of a sub-circular area enclosed by a well-defined stone bank, though it is now grass-covered.
The interior is at a higher level than the surrounding land and contained within are mounds which could suggest house sites or souterrains (KE009-007001, KE009-007002-). In the W sector is an oblong mound, 10m N-S and 1m-2m E-W. About 2.4m E of this is another mound, 3m N-S x 2m E-W and 4m high; SE of this feature is another small mound, 2m N-S x 2m E-W. In the SE sector is a semi-circular bank curving into the interior of the enclosing bank.
The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 805. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
