The original walling is best preserved at SW, and a gap at SE may mark the original entrance. A large amount of stone collapse fills the interior, where the entrance to a souterrain is reputed to occur (local information). D: 4.6m x 4.3m. H: .9m. T: 2.3m.
The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 1366. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
