The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating pasture, on the lower N-facing slopes of Gullaba Hill. A subcircular area (8m E-W; 6.4m N-S) defined by a drystone wall (T 0.5m; H 1.2m) which externally abuts the SE arc of another enclosure (KE094-027----). The entrance is at NE and the enclosing wall of the enclosure at either side of the entrance is low. The interior is densely overgrown with ferns and scattered with loose stones. The surrounding area has recently been planted with trees. There is a burnt spread (KE094-027003-) c. 40m to the NE and a standing stone (KE094-050----) c. 70m 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.
