The National Monuments Service's description
In rough, uneven, hill grazing on bog on the E-facing slopes of Cahernageeha Mountain. The remains of relict field walls (T 0.6m; H 0.4m), which protrude above the surface of the bog, occur intermittently in a roughly triangular area (L c. 240m at E; protruding c. 300m to W). The walls vary in length and direction and are generally curvilinear with many boulder-type stones and occasional slabs set on the line of the wall. Many stretches of these relict walls are obscured by gorse and moor-grass, and occasionally disappear under deeper bog. (O'Sullivan and Sheehan 1996, 399, no. 1220)
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.
