The National Monuments Service's description
On a steep S facing slope midway between Knocklomena and Boughil mountains. A complex of nine crudely built structures and enclosures of boulder construction. None survive more than one to two courses high. Internal diameters range from 1.3m to 3.9m, and the enclosures probably relate to farming activities in the area. Old field walls are visible in the immediate vicinity.
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. 1369. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
