The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on a S-facing slope, in the valley of the Coomeelan stream and within a network of relict field walls (KE103-006001-). A D-shaped area (7m E-W), with a straight W side (L 10.2m), defined by a partially collapsed, drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 1m). The wall is best preserved along the N arc. There are large upright slabs set radially along the base of the wall N-NE. Two hut sites (KE103-006005-, KE103-006006-) adjoin this enclosure at NW and SE, respectively.
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.
