The National Monuments Service's description
In level pasture, on the valley floor of a small stream, to the E of Esknabrock Hill. A circular area (12.5m E-W; 12m N-S) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 1.1m; int. H 0.15m; ext. H 0.45m). The bank along the E arc is higher (ext. H 0.6m) and is flanked on its outer face by numerous upright stones. The inner face of the bank along the SW arc is also revetted by upright stones. The bank is obscured by field-clearance rubble which is piled up against it from SW-NW and intermittently between NW and SW. The interior, which is obscured by undergrowth and sitka spruce trees, was used as a children's burial ground (KE085-008001-).
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.
