The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on an E-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Dromoghty River. A roughly oval area (9.2m N-S; max. 5.4m E-W) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.7m) which protrudes above the surface of the bog. The wall is best preserved at W where it is incorporated into a N-S field wall which forms part of a network of relict field boundaries (KE101-015001-).
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.
