On the well-drained SE facing slopes of Bray Head, Valencia Island, overlooking the entrance to Portmagee Channel. Traces of broad cultivation ridges and field boundaries occur in the vicinity of buildings and extend outwards over a wider area.
A 3.3m stretch of a field wall (KE087-021002-) is located 7m SSW of the most northerly of the group of huts.
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. 1135. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
