The National Monuments Service's description
In a cliff-edge fort (KE102-101001-). An open trench (L 4.5m; Wth 1.4m; H 0.8m) slopes down from the N to the S to a passage (L 3.1m; Wth 1.65m; H 0.9m), which leads to the edge of a steep scarped bank high above the river. Large stone lintels, some in a precarious state, rest on the earth-cut sides of the passage. A bullaun stone (KE102-101003-) lies c. 30m to the NNE and there is a corn-drying kiln (KE102-101005-) c. 25m to the NW.
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.
