The National Monuments Service's description
This site is depicted as a small circular field on the first edition of the OS map. Its poorly preserved remains are located on the W slopes of Farraniaragh mountain, in the grounds of a modern bungalow, and consist of a short arc of an earth and gravel bank 1.2m in external height and 1.6m wide. The remainder of the site appears to have been levelled and is densely overgrown.
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. 761. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
