The National Monuments Service's description
In rough heather-covered hill pasture, on a rocky ridge and within a field system (KE102-074001-). An oval cairn (10m NE-SW; 3.6m NW-SE; H 0.6m) of loose stones in a jumbled state. Remains of kerbing visible in the rubble suggests that the cairn was originally circular and had a diameter of c. 3m.
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.
