The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on a S-facing slope. A rectangular area (5.1m E-W; 4.4m N-S), with rounded corners, is defined by a drystone wall (T 0.7m; H 1.4m). There is an entrance (Wth 0.8m) at the NW corner. The S portion of the interior is raised and the N portion is cut into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. A crudely built drystone wall, on an E-W axis, extends (L 7m) to the W from the NW corner. There is forestry plantation to the W and S of the enclosure.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
