The National Monuments Service's description
In a level area of cutaway bog, on the SW-facing slope of Mangerton Mountain. An exposed section of a NE-SW relict field wall (T 0.8m; H 0.4-0.6m) extends to the NE for a distance of c. 22m from the bog face (H 0.6m) at SW. The wall, which is white in colour and in a ruined condition, is set on the base clay. The wall can be further traced in the uncut bog. There is an enclosure (KE084-055002-) c. 60m to the WNW and a cairn (KE084-055003-) c. 130m to the W.
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.
