The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, between a N-S track and inside the loop of river, on the SW-facing slope of Mangertonbeg Mountain. A level semicircular area defined by dark foliage may indicate the location of the enclosure. It is indicated as a small rectangular enclosure (c. 6m NW-SE; c. 3m NE-SW) and marked 'sheepfold' on the 1846 and 1895 OS 6-inch maps. The possible enclosure is not visible at ground level.
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.
