The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on a NE-facing slope, overlooking the valley of Lough Inchiquin. A circular cairn (diam. 3m; H 0.8m) of stones, varying in size and shape, protrudes above the surface of the bog. Parts of the upper surface are grass-covered and the lower courses are disturbed with stones scattered around the perimeter. This cairn is 25m W of a relict wall which forms part of a network of field boundaries (KE101-101001-).
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.
