The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on a terrace of a S-facing slope. An oval area (9m E-W; 6m N-S) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T c. 0.5m; H 1.1m) with large stones visible at the base. The wall is well preserved along the NW arc. Upright stones are incorporated into the wall at W, NW and N. Part of the wall appears to have been rebuilt along the S arc, where stones have been set radially in it. There are loose stones scattered internally around the base of the wall.
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.
