The National Monuments Service's description
A slightly raised, turfed-over causeway, averaging 3m wide, joins the E end of the island to the area at its W shore. Commencing just outside the graveyard enclosure, it meanders along the N shore of the island and terminates close to the building known as St Finan's Cell (KE098-039009-). A number of field boundaries overlie it along its course.
The above description is derived from O'Sullivan, A. and Sheehan, J. (compilers) 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University press. (1996), no. 974. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
