The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on both cutaway and blanket bog, on the NE-facing lower slopes of Knocknagullion and within a network of relict field boundaries (KE091-113002-). A roughly rectangular area (10.5m NE-SW; 4.2m NW-SE) defined by the remains of a collapsed wall (T 0.65m; H 0.5m) of mainly large stones which protrude above the surface of the bog. Only faint traces of the wall are visible at NW. There is a possible entrance (Wth 0.5m) in the centre of the E wall.
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.
