In the interior there are two depressions measuring 4m x 3m and 5.6m x 6m. Extending out of the NE sector is a narrow bank, c 3m wide and running in a NE direction for 18m. This site is not marked on any edition of the OS maps. In the 1930s the Kerry Field Club visited the site and found a smooth stone ball. This has since been lost, but these type of balls are often connected with burials.
