The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on a S-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Coomeelan stream. Collapsed curvilinear stone walls (T 1m; H 0.6m) protrude intermittently above the surface of the bog and indicate a field system throughout an area measuring c. 300m E-W x c. 300m N-S. Rubble is scattered downslope from the walls. Sections of the wall regularly run on into bog. The visible fields vary in shape and size. Within this field system are four enclosures (KE102-069001-, KE102-069002-, KE102-069004-, KE102-069005-) and a fulacht fia (KE102-069003-).
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.
