Situated on a N facing slope overlooking Tralee Bay. The land use is rough grazing for sheep with extensive conifer plantations further N. These boundary walls are in a denuded state remaining only at ground level. Partially obscured by bracken in the summer months. Two sections of relict field boundary partially surround a cleared ‘green’ area. One section c, 22m in length, running N from an upstanding E-W boundary ending just where a track meets the green area. It has been levelled to the ground. At the NW corner of this green area a second short section of relict field boundary was recorded . It was c. 14m in length and was built along the top of a steep scarp .A hut site is c. 12m to the NW of this relict boundary and there is an historic sheep fold further to the E.
