The National Monuments Service's description
This almost completely levelled enclosure occurs in pasture on the steep cliff-edge that forms the W bank of the Finglas river. It is marked as a circular enclosure on the first edition of the OS map and is located 60m SE of a large rath (KE098-050----). Slight traces of a stony bank, .6m high and 1.4m wide, can be observed at N. A short stretch of an earthen bank occurs at S. The site measures roughly 9m in internal diameter.
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. 701. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
