The National Monuments Service's description
This site, situated in low-lying land, is roughly heart shaped. However, the S to W bank has been cut and levelled for c 14m by farm buildings. A fieldbank running in a NNE-SSW direction lies immediately to the E. This heart-shaped enclosure (KE010-046002-) is enclosed overall by a fairly well-defined earthen bank, with an internal diameter of 24m N-S and 23m E-W. The bank is 4m-6m wide at the base, .4m-1.2m high internally and c.5m high externally. This site is marked on the 1939 OS map as 'Burial Ground (disused)'.
The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 857. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
