The National Monuments Service's description
On rough rush-covered hill grazing on blanket bog, on a N-facing slope overlooking the valley of Derreendarragh River. The remains of a relict field wall (T 0.75m; H 0.4m) protrude intermittently above the surface of the bog as it winds downslope in a general NW direction for c. 120m and then runs out on a level shelf. Stone for the nearby 'fionnán' enclosures, which were used for storing moor-grass, were probably taken from this field 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.
