The National Monuments Service's description
In undulating rough hill pasture, near the N bank of the Glashanaglarach stream. This enclosure was not located. It is indicated on the 1895 OS 6-inch map as D-shaped (c. 7m E-W) with its straight NE side (L c. 5m) formed by a field boundary. The field boundary defines an irregular field (c. 75m NW-SE; c. 50m NE-SW) and the enclosure is in its SE quadrant.
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.
