The National Monuments Service's description

Situated on steep E facing slope near the entrance to a N-S valley with extensive views N to Tralee Bay. The land use is rough grazing for sheep with exposed rock outcrops, thin peat cover and heather. To the W of a clochán (KE036-104----) and further up-slope are the remains of poorly preserved sub-circular shaped enclosure (dims. 4m N-S x 3.5m E-W) defined by a very denuded single broken ring of stones.
