This site is marked on the 1841-42 OS map as a circular enclosure, and is marked on the 1914-15 map, though not as clearly. Today it has been much levelled and is barely perceptible above the ground. It survives as a raised area, c .4m above the surrounding land. The internal diameter is 20m E-W.
The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 1066. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
