The National Monuments Service's description
Cloon Lough lies in the broad valley formed by Knocknacusha mountain at W and Mullaghanattin at E. On low-lying land, less than 200m from the lakeshore at NE, a 20m long stretch of wall is exposed as a result of peat-cutting. It runs E-W, occurs .45m below the present bog surface, and is composed of boulders and intermittent uprights.
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. 23. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
