The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on bog near the SW bank of the Ameen River. Three upright stones which protrude above the surface of the bog in an arc ESE-WSW may be the remains of a stone circle. The stone at ESE (H 1.12m; 1.1m x 0.3m) stands 0.9m from the stone at S. The stone at S (H 0.9m; 1m x 0.3m) stands 0.8m from the stone at WSW (H 0.15m; 1.05m x 0.15m).
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.
