The National Monuments Service's description
According to Toal (1995, 265, no. 974), the landowner stated that there was 'originally a souterrain in the SW sector of the interior' (of enclosure KE016-063----). No visible surface trace of this souterrain was noted on day of survey by the North Kerry Archaeological Survey.
