The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on the SE side of a saddle in a ridge extending SE from Curramore Hill. A roughly circular area (diam. c. 5m) defined by a poorly constructed drystone wall (T 0.8m; H 1m). The wall reaches a maximum height at S where it is dug slightly into the hillslope. There is a possible entrance at NE. This enclosure is within a relict field system (KE093-051001-).
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.
