The National Monuments Service's description
A report of an outing by the Kerry Field Club from 1945 (MCKFC Vol. 1, 624-5) stated that they also inspected a fort with souterrrain (KE057-139001-) in Kilderry wood. The souterrains in this are open but much damaged. They are made of large rough flagstones not far underground'. The extent of Kilderry Wood is indicated on the 1895 ed. OS 6-inch map but there is no known fort within it. The precise location of this ringfort with possible souterrain within Kilderry Wood has not been identified.
