The National Monuments Service's description
In rough, hill grazing on bog, on the N-facing slopes of Eagle Hill. The remains of relict field walls (T 0.6m; H 0.4m), which protrude above the surface of bog, wind downslope for c. 105m along the E bank of a N-flowing stream. The remains of a separate, similar-type wall, situated c. 25m to the E, runs in an ESE direction for c. 30m. The slab-type stones are largely obscured by moor-grass and are set mainly at right angles to the line of the walls. (O'Sullivan and Sheehan 1996, 415, no. 1414)
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
