The National Monuments Service's description
In hill pasture, on the NE-facing slopes of Knockbrack. Relict field walls (T 0.5m; H 0.1-0.6m) protrude above the bog intermittently throughout the hillside and cover an area measuring c. 500m E-W x 250m N-S. The walls disappear in deep bog and sections of them are obscured by moor-grass and heather. Most sections are curvilinear and haphazard but some straight sections do occur. Tall slabs (H c. 1m) were noted at varying intervals along the walls.
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.
