The National Monuments Service's description

In rough hill pasture, on both cutaway and blanket bog, on the NE-facing lower slopes of Knocknagullion. The remains of mainly curvilinear stone walls (T 0.6m; H 0.45m) protrude intermittently above the surface of the bog over a roughly rectangular area (c. 260m N-S; c. 220m E-W). Many stones are set upright at right angles to the line of the wall. There is a standing stone (KE091-113001-), an enclosure (KE091-113003-) and a paved way (KE091-113004-) within this network of field walls.

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.
