The National Monuments Service's description
On a platform (KE104A001062-) to the NE of the S steps (KE104A001017-) on Sceilg Mhichíl. This possible subrectangular enclosure is indicated by the remains of a partially collapsed drystone wall (L 6.3m; T 0.8m; H 0.55m) NE-SW, with the short return of a second wall (L c. 3m) extending from its SW end in a WNW direction. The NE end of the longer wall ends in a clean break but continues at a much lower level disappearing into rubble suggesting a possible entrance here. The interior is obscured by rubble and overgrowth.
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.
