The National Monuments Service's description
In cutaway bog, on an E-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Dromoghty River. A circular cairn (diam. 4m; H 0.65m) of stones varying in size and shape, protrudes above the surface of the bog. Traces of kerbing, consisting of stone slabs laid horizontally one on top of the other, are evident along the NW edge. There is a depression in the centre of the cairn. The cairn is close to the S end of a relict field boundary (KE101-082004-).
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.
