The National Monuments Service's description
This pre-bog trackway is located on the NW side of the Kealduff river valley, at the base of a knoll on which a standing stone (KE082-031----) is located. Peat-cutting has uncovered a 12m long stretch of stone track which runs NNE-SSW and disappears beneath the bog at N. It averages 1.4m wide and is defined on both edges with regular slabs; smaller stones pave its centre.
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. 36. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
