The National Monuments Service's description
This enclosure, not marked on the OS maps, is located on the saddle of high ground which separates the Bridia valley from the upper reaches of Cummeenduff Glen. It comprises a subcircular area, measuring 11m N-S x 12.5m E-W internally, defined by a wall composed of large and small boulders. This survives to a height of .45m and is up to .95m wide. A 1m wide entrance occurs at S. There is much stone collapse in the interior of the site.
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. 729. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
