The National Monuments Service's description
In rough gorse-covered grazing, on the lower SE-facing slopes of Sliabh an Iolair and overlooking Dingle Bay. Indicated as an embanked enclosed area (diam. c. 60m) on the 1895 OS 6-inch map. Most of the enclosure is obscured by gorse and no evidence of an enclosing element could be seen. Surface stones occur intermittently within the enclosure.
