The National Monuments Service's description
New site identified by John Cronin & Associates (JCA) under Licence No. 16E0127 prior to wind farm development in Barnastooka, Kilgarvan, Co. Kerry by ESB Wind Development Ltd. Rectangular platform located on a moderate southeast facing slope to the northwest of T.30 at ITM grid co-ordinate 506461, 571612. The feature is defined by an earthen and stone bank enclosing a slightly raised area measuring 7.8m north to south by 5m. It is situated to the immediate east of a gullied stream and is most likely associated with 18th/19th century agriculture. Similar in morphology to sites such as NICH12, NICH30, NICH34.
