The National Monuments Service's description
This small sub-circular enclosure is situated on a steep SSE facing slope about 200m to NE of KE042-123----. It measures 5.2m N-S x 6m E-W internally and is enclosed by an overgrown band of small stones up to .8m high and c. 2m wide. There is a possible entrance at SE, now blocked by collapse.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1538. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
