The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating pasture, on the W bank of a stream, on the floor of the Glashagoruv River valley. A layer (L 4m; T 0.5m) of burnt material was exposed in the stream bank during work on a forestry road. Heat-shattered stones were also exposed where the stream crosses the forest road. The surrounding area has recently been planted with trees. This burnt spread is situated c. 40m SW of adjoining enclosures (KE094-027----, KE094-027001-) and a hut site (KE094-027002-). A standing stone (KE094-050----) is c. 40m 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.
