Contained within the bank at E is a stone-built chamber (KE106-048001-), 4.4m long and 1.1m wide. Its corbelled walls are built of regular coursing and the end-walls are slightly curved. No roofing slabs are preserved, and access to the chamber must have been through its roof.
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. 474. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
