The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, near the NW bank of the Sheen River. A circular bowl-shaped pit (1m NW-SE; 1m NE-SW; D 0.67m) is faced with small upright slabs. A rectangular lintelled funnel (L 0.42m; H 0.41m; Wth 0.26m), at the SE end of the pit, leads to an oval pit (1.14m NW-SE; 0.68m NE-SW; D 0.25m) faced with stone SE-NW. The interior of both pits is uneven and grass covered. Stones are scattered on the ground to the SE. A cliff-edge fort (KE102-101001-) and a souterrain (KE102-101002-) are c. 25m to the SE.
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.
