The National Monuments Service's description

This was formerly classed as 'well' in the SMR (1990) and the RMP (1997). The source of this information appears to be the 1846 OS 6-inch map where two circular features are depicted within the enclosure (KE092-032----). On closer inspection of the first edition (1846) OS 6-inch map, the feature at the SW appears to be the symbol used for a limekiln. This possible limekiln has been assigned this SMR number KE092-032003-. The second feature, located towards the centre of the enclosure appears to be a possible hut site and has been assigned this SMR record (KE092-032001-). According to the Iveragh Survey Peninsula entry (no. 788), there was no surface trace of either of these features. (O'Sullivan and Sheehan 1996, 218, no. 788)
