The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on a S-facing slope in the valley of the Coomeelan stream. A grass-covered kidney-shaped mound (4.8m N-S; 4m E-W; H 0.65m) of burnt material on the E bank of the stream. The mound is indented slightly along its W side and burnt material is exposed at S. Two enclosures (KE102-041----, KE102-041001-) and a possible boulder-burial (KE102-041002-) are c. 30m to the NW, NNW and N, respectively. There is another enclosure (KE102-041003-) c. 40m to the W.
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.
