The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on the W-facing slope of Mangerton Mountain. A roughly oval-shaped area (42m E-W; 22m N-S) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.9m; H 0.4m) which protrudes above the surface of the bog. The wall curves inwards along the SE arc to incorporate outcropping rock. Boulders are scattered on the hillside to the E of the enclosure. Relict walls from a network of field boundaries (KE084-045004-) are to the N and W of the enclosure. There is a hut site (KE084-045002-) c. 35m to the NW.
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.
