The National Monuments Service's description
A large oval enclosure is indicated at this location on the first edition of the OS map. A number of small irregularly shaped fields, as depicted on the second edition, now occupy the site but a short stretch of curving bank may indicate the remnants of the NE sector of the enclosure. This is 5.5m long, 1.4m wide and .45m high. It is densely overgrown, but appears to be of earthen composition.
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. 739. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
