The National Monuments Service's description
In hill pasture, at the base of a steep scarp on the SE-facing slopes of Knockbrack Mountain. A rectangular area (6.35m E-W; 2.7m N-S) defined by a ruined drystone wall (T 0.8m; H c. 0.8m) comprising rough and irregular stones. Loose stones are scattered internally and externally, especially on the downslope to the SE. A square sheepfold (dims. c. 8m), divided into two rectangular areas (on an E-W axis), is indicated on the 1895 OS 6-inch map.
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.
