The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on a SW-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Dromoghty River. The flanks of this circular cairn (5m NE-SW; 4.8m NW-SE; H 1m) of loose stones are grass-covered and protrude above the surface of the shallow bog while the top of the cairn is clear of overgrowth. Traces of kerbing are evident S-W. This is one of a group of nine cairns (see KE102-091003-, KE102-091004-, KE102-091005-, KE102-091006-, KE102-091007-, KE102-091008-, KE102-091009-, KE102-091011-), the closest of which (KE102-091011-) lies c. 14m to the NE.
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.
