The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, in a sheltered hollow, on a S-facing slope. A circular area (diam. 4.2m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.8m; H 0.6m). There is a possible entrance at NW. The interior is level and obscured by ferns. Loose stones are scattered within the interior and around the enclosure externally. Two hut sites (KE085-041005-, KE085-041001-) are 30m to the S and 54m to the W, respectively. A relict field boundary (KE085-041009-) commences 10m N of this enclosure.
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.
