The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on the S-facing slope of a ridge with a small river c. 40m to the S. A circular area (12.7m N-S; 12.1m E-W) defined by a drystone wall (T 0.9m; H 1.3m) of random rubble on a base of larger stones and best preserved at W. There is a narrow entrance (Wth 0.5m) at SSE. The interior slopes down to the S. A pile of loose stones occurs in the N sector. An E-W field boundary abuts the enclosure wall at N.
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.
