The National Monuments Service's description
A ruined circular structure, probably a relatively modern sheepfold, overlies a circular enclosure (KE090-016001-) in the interior of the site. The latter measures about 10m in internal diameter, and its enclosing bank averages 1.7m wide and .7m high. An entrance, 1.4m wide, is located at E.
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. 611. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
