The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on a S-facing slope overlooking the valley of the Sheen River. An irregularly shaped area (c. 90m N-S; c. 60m E-W) defined by a collapsed wall (T c. 0.5m) which protrudes c. 0.4m above the peat. The wall disappears intermittently beneath the peat cover. The enclosure is bisected by an E-W field boundary. A fulacht fia (KE093-091002) is c. 80m to the SE.
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.
