The National Monuments Service's description
This ruined stone enclosure, marked as a very small circular feature on the second edition of the OS map, is located on an E facing slope in poorly drained pasture. Its crudely built wall of boulders averages .7m wide, and encloses an area 6.3m N-S x 5.4m E-W. Most of the boulders are radially disposed and some are set on edge. There is no discernible entrance to the site and it may be a fionnán 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. 704. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
