The National Monuments Service's description
In rough undulating pasture, in the valley of the Esk stream. Curvilinear stretches of collapsed stone walls (T 0.7m; H 0.4m) protrude intermittently above the surface of the bog and indicate a network of relict field walls extending over a roughly square area (c. 300m NNW-SSE; c. 300m WSW-ENE). Several gaps were noted where the walls extend into the bog. Loose stones from the walls are scattered downslope.
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.
