The National Monuments Service's description
'This site is located adjacent to a small stream that runs parallel to the southern side of the old N21 road between Tralee and Castleisland, immediately west of the village of Ballydwyer. The site is located in undulating, marshy land and consists of a low sub-circular mound remaining to 0.44m in maximum height. The site measures 14m N-S by 14.5m E-W and no trough area is visible. The mound was buried under imported topsoil as part of works to level out and raise the land, in 1998.'
