The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on the W bank of the Kealgorm River, on the SE-facing slope of Mangerton Mountain. A subcircular area (6.6m N-S; 5.2m E-W) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.8m; H 0.4m) with large stones forming the base of the N wall. There is a possible entrance at E. The SE portion of the interior is raised to compensate for the hillslope. Loose stones are scattered around the enclosure externally. There is a hut site (KE085-002001-) c. 25m to the E.
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.
