The National Monuments Service's description
Marked on the OS maps as a semicircular enclosure with the Laune river delimiting the site at NE, this site was levelled in the 1970's (local information). The land is now devoted to pasture.
The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 782. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
