The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, on a SE-facing rocky slope overlooking Lough Reagh. A roughly D-shaped area (dim. 7m N-S) with a straight N side (L 8m E-W) has exposed patches of black soil with charcoal inclusions. The area is raised (H 0.7m) at S and is cut into the upslope (D 1m) at N to compensate for the hillslope. There is a hut site (KE073-053003-) c. 25m to the NW.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
