The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill grazing on bog, on a W-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Inny River. The remains of a curvilinear stone field wall (T 0.7m; H 0.6m), which protrude above the surface of the bog, wind in a general SE direction from a SW-flowing river for c. 70m to the N side of an enclosure (KE081-052----). Many of the stone slabs are set at right angles to the line of the wall. Rubble from the collapsed upper courses is embedded in the bog on both sides of the wall. A hut site (KE081-049----) lies c. 35m to the SW.
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.
