The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on a S-facing slope, in the valley of the Coomeelan stream. A collapsed curvilinear stone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.4m) extends downslope to the SE for c. 45m and turns to the S for c. 30m. The wall protrudes above the surface of the bog and disappears into the bog at both ends. The remains of a separate wall, which is located c. 10m to the E, emerges from the peat at S and extends (L c. 30m) to the N and then curves to the W.
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.
