The National Monuments Service's description
The second fulacht fiadh (KE071-051003-) is located a short distance SW of the first and consists of a flat-topped, circular mound which measures 13m in diameter and is 1.6m high. Some rock outcrop protrudes through its surface. On its SE side, facing a small stream, is a square depression measuring 1m x 1m. The mound is composed of shattered rock and burnt earth.
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. 29. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
