The National Monuments Service's description
This site is located in pasture overlooking the Finglas river and is depicted as a circular enclosure on the first edition of the OS map. It survives as a low stony bank which is best preserved at N, where it barely rises above surrounding ground level. It averages 1.6m wide and encloses an area 24m N-S. Three shallow, roughly circular depressions, averaging 2m in diameter, abut the inner face of the bank in the site's SE quadrant. These may represent the foundations of hut sites.
The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 633. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
