The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on the N side of an E-W ridge, at the foot of the S slope of Mangerton Mountain and within a network of relict field boundaries (KE085-003006-). An oval area (16.5m E-W; 12m N-S) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 1.1m; H 0.9m). An inner and outer row of upright slabs line the wall from SE-NW. The wall is in poor condition from NW-SE. There is an entrance (Wth 1.2m) at SSE and a gap at W. The N portion of the interior is raised to compensate for the hillslope. The interior slopes down gently to the E. A relict wall from the network of field walls abuts the enclosure wall at 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.
