The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on a S-facing slope, in the valley of Glashanaglaragh stream. The remains of a curvilinear stone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.4m) protrude above the surface of the bog and extend upslope from the N bank of a river for a distance of c. 70m, disappearing occasionally under the surface of the bog. Several upright stones, which are set at right angles to the line of the wall, were noted. There is a hut site (KE103-031001-) c. 15m to the N.
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.
