The National Monuments Service's description
Blanket peat covers the floor of this valley, which opens N onto Kells Bay and is formed by Mount Foley and Knocknadobar on its E and W sides respectively. Removal of peat on the N side of the valley floor has exposed a series of stone walls (K070-002001-), which appear to have been constructed on the pre-peat ground surface. These extend over an area c. 350m x 300m and the land, which slopes gently to S, provides rough 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. 14. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
