The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on the N bank of a tributary of the Glashagoruv River. Two roughly crescent-shaped mounds (W mound: 5.35 E-W; 4.4m N-S; H 0.6m; E mound: 4.4m N-S; 2.2m E-W; H 1m) of burnt material, a short distance apart, are probably the remains of a horseshoe-shaped fulacht fia, the centre of which has been eroded by the stream. A standing stone (KE094-022----) is c. 60m to the E.
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.
