The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on a rocky W-facing slope. Relict field walls meander intermittently across the hillside, covering an area c. 1.15km E-W x c. 520m N-S. The walls (T 0.65m; H 0.7m) protrude above the surface of the bog with base stones set at right angles to the line of the wall. The remains of cultivation ridges were noted in this area.
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.
