The National Monuments Service's description
Associated with the later phase of the site are two roughly built and slightly curving walls which extend to SE and SW from either side of the mine-face. They average 2m long, .4m high and .5m wide. Lying on the surface of the E wall is a small slab which bears a deeply scratched linear cross on its upper surface. A series of stones form a step at the rear of the mine and may also be of late date.
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. 259. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
