The National Monuments Service's description
In improved pasture, on the upper portion of a SW-facing slope; Good views to Killarney lakes. No visible surface trace of a monument at location of co-ordinates provided. Sub-oval area (dims. 18m N-S; 11m E-W) is located 55m to NE and is defined by an earth and stone bank (H c. 1.4m) SW->W->N and enclosed by thicket of vegetation (H c. 1.5m) N->E->SE. Field boundary (long axis NW-SE) defines monument to S. Interior is covered in dense growth of furze. Upon limited investigation within, a number of small piles of stone were noted. This is not fulacht fia material but could feasibly be field clearance, some form of cairn or perhaps a childrens’ burial ground. This oval area is specifically cordoned off from rest of field. Reported to the Archaeological Survey of Ireland as an extant mound/fulacht fia. Although there is no visible surface trace of a fulacht fia at this location, the enclosed feature located c. 55m to NE is likely to have been the intended monument seen upon aerial photography.
