The National Monuments Service's description
The subcircular enclosure (KE098-117----) occurs near the centre of the complex and measures 9.8m E-W x 8.8m N-S internally. Its wall stands to a maximum height of .5m and is faced both externally and internally with horizontally laid slabs which enclose a rubble core. A possible annex, in ruined condition, abuts the N side of the enclosure.
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. 43. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
