The National Monuments Service's description
Marked on the 1841-42 OS map as a circular enclosure, this site is not as clearly defined on the 1939 map. Today this enclosure has been much levelled due to the erection of farm buildings. All that survives is a section of the enclosing bank SW through S to SE, c 3m wide at the base and rising to a maximum of .6m high.
The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 1052. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
