The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on top of a grassy knoll on a SE-facing slope overlooking the Glashagoruv River valley. The roughly circular cairn (3.1m E-W; 2.5m N-S; H 0.4m) is partly covered in peat. Exposed material comprises stones of various shapes and sizes. A multiple-stone circle (KE094-021001-) is c. 350m to the E and a standing stone (KE094-022----) is c. 300m 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.
