The National Monuments Service's description
In rough peaty pasture, overlooking the valley of the Roughty River to the S and the head of Kenmare Bay to the W. A roughly circular enclosure (diam. c. 50m) is visible on aerial photographs (GSIAP, W 116, W 138), taken in 1973. This possible enclosure is not visible at ground level. Some land reclamation has taken place in this area.
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.
