The National Monuments Service's description
Located c. 80m S of KE087-015---- and not marked on the OS maps, this site survives as an earthen bank which encloses a subcircular area, 10m N-S x 11m E-W. The bank has an external height of .65m and rises .55m internally. Its basal width varies from 1m to 2.1m. The bank is highest and widest along the S side of the site. It is gapped in several places but none of these appear to represent an entrance.
The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 723. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
