The National Monuments Service's description
This ruined subcircular enclosure, not marked on the OS maps, is situated in boggy pasture just W of Cummeralooderry stream, a tributary of the Owenreagh river. Its overgrown wall, which features rough horizontal coursing, survives .5m high and .8m wide. A portion of the wall at N is overlain by peat. The site measures 10.3m x 9.5m internally.
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. 753. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
