The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on a SW-facing slope overlooking the valley of the Sheen River to the W. This network of relict field walls extends over an area c. 230m x 300m and consists of three sections of a collapsed drystone wall (T c. 0.6m; H c. 0.6m). The longest section extends upslope for c. 300m in an E direction; a substantial stretch of it (c. 60m) is masked by deeper bog. The second section of wall, at right angles to the first and adjoining it c. 15m from its W end, extends in a N direction for c. 230m. The third section of wall (L c. 50m) also extends N from the E-W section, approximately midway along the length of the latter.
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.
