The National Monuments Service's description
In rough heather-clad hill pasture, on a W-facing rocky slope, in the valley of the Dromoghty River. The remains of a curvilinear stone wall (T 0.5m; H 0.85m) protrude intermittently above the surface of the bog and extend to the E for c. 32m. The wall runs on into the bog at both ends.
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.
