The National Monuments Service's description
This pre-bog wall is located in an area of cut-away bog on the floor of the Owenreagh river valley. It is exposed for 11m, running NE-SW, and is overlain by a 1.3m high peat-face at its NE end. It is composed of a loose tumble of large stones and slabs.
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. 49. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
