The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture and areas of cutaway bog, on a SE-facing slope. A circular area (int. diam. 15m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 1.8m; H 1.4m). The inner face of the wall is best preserved SW-SE. The external face of the wall is best preserved NW-E with the outer wall-face and some core stones collapsed E-NW. The entrance (Wth 2m) is at NW. The partly collapsed drystone wall of a recent rectangular structure is built into the cashel wall at S. Loose stones are scattered over the interior. A network of relict field boundaries (KE101-015001-) is to the W and NW.
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.
