The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, at the foot of a steep SE-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Feabunaun stream. A circular area (diam. 11.8m) defined by a partially collapsed, drystone wall (T 0.8m; H 1m) E-W. The enclosing element W-E is obscured by a mound of field-clearance debris. Linear field boundaries abut the enclosure at W and E. The SE portion of the interior is raised (H 0.4m) to compensate for the hillslope.
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.
