The National Monuments Service's description
Marked on the 1841-42 OS map as a complete circular enclosure, on the later edition map it has been disfigured on the NW to W side by fieldbank. This site also shows up quite clearly on the Geological Survey of Ireland's aerial photographs (1977). However, it has now been completely levelled and no surface trace remains.
The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 418. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
