It was identified by him during the course of an assessment of a 40 square mile area for the purpose of choosing a road route in 2000 to the north of Killarney. Reported to the Archaeological Survey of Ireland as an extant fulacht fia. Full access not gained: Closest access point is 100m to N. No potential feature evident upon historic mapping or modern aerial photography (OSi 2010; Bing 2015). This area has since been planted.
