The National Monuments Service's description
In rough unevenly surfaced hill pasture, on blanket bog, on the NE-facing slopes of Knocknagullion. The remains of stone field walls (T 0.6m; H 0.5m) which extend throughout an irregular area (c. 600m NE-SW; c. 300m NW-SE). The walls protrude intermittently above the surface of the blanket bog which is of varying depth. The walls are mainly curvilinear. There is a standing stone pair (KE091-103----), an ogham stone (KE091-103001-), standing stones (KE091-103003-, KE091-114002-, KE091-114003-), two fulachtaí fia (KE091-114001-, KE091-114006-), two hut sites (KE091-114004-, KE091-114005-) and two cairns (KE091-114007-, KE091-114008-) within this network of relict 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.
