The National Monuments Service's description
In rough heather-clad pasture, on a terrace on the SW-facing slope of Mangerton Mountain. A circular area (6.2m N-S; 6m E-W) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.8m; H 0.3m). An unembedded upright stone (H 1.8m; 0.3m x 0.2m) stands on the E wall of the enclosure, is propped up by loose stones and appears to be of recent origin. Two hut sites (KE085-024008-, KE085-024009-) are in the NE and NW sectors, respectively. There is hut site (KE085-024005-) c. 28m to the SE and a relict field boundary (KE085-024002-) c. 80m to the SE.
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.
