The National Monuments Service's description
This site is marked on the first edition of the OS map as a roughly oval-shaped enclosure, and is located in pasture at the upper reaches of the Inny river. The present remains consist of a raised platform, roughly square in plan, which is composed of earth, gravel and small stones. It measures 7.4m NE-SW x 7.3m NW-SE in overall dimensions, and has a maximum external height of .75m at W. Its centre is slightly depressed and features a scattering of small stones.
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. 760. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
