The National Monuments Service's description

A large circular field or enclosure (KE070-002002-), measuring 21.6m in diameter, incorporates a hut and two adjoining structures in its E sector. Extending S, E and W from this field are a number of NE-SW linear walls, some of which intersect with shorter walls at right angles. A modern drain cuts through one of these, at which point the peat is .8m deep. The walls, composed of uprights and block-like boulders, average .75m wide and protrude up to .6m above the bog surface; some disappear at intervals beneath the peat.

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.
