The National Monuments Service's description
In a rath (KE093-049----). According to local information, there was a children's burial ground, with graves marked by low upright stones, in the N sector of the rath. As part of recent landscaping work, earth has been brought into the rath and the burial ground has been covered over but is said not to have been disturbed. There is also a possible souterrain (KE093-049001-) in the rath.
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.
