The National Monuments Service's description
The interior [of ringfort (KE014-043----)] is at a higher level than the surrounding land and access is gained by an 8m wide entrance to the S. Contained within the interior are two mounds: the N mound measures 10.4m x 10m internally; the other, SE of this, measures 4m x 6m internally. These may be the remains of the souterrain which is marked as 'cave' (KE014-043001-) on the 1842 OS map.
The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 500. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
