The National Monuments Service's description
Located approximately 170m S of another track (KE083-077----), in an adjoining townland, is this very overgrown stretch of trackway. Curving N-S, it is exposed for c. 21m. It averages 1m wide and is composed of flat slabs. A further scatter of stones and boulders can be detected beneath the surface of the peat between the N end of the trackway and a tributary of the Kealduff river; this may be a continuation of KE083-077----.
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. 34. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
