The National Monuments Service's description
This bog-covered plateau overlooks Kells Basin to N from a W spur of Been Hill. In a small peat-cutting a wall runs NE-SW for a distance of 21m. It is composed of intermittent uprights, boulders and slabs set on edge; it averages .5m high. A shorter stretch of a similarly constructed wall runs at right angles to SE.
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. 20. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
