The National Monuments Service's description
In the S sector of a larger enclosure (KE108-052001-). A roughly rectangular area (dims. c. 12m NW-SE; c. 8m NE-SW) defined by a scarp, which is faced externally with an uncoursed rubble wall (H 0.1-0.65m) along the NW, NE and SE sides, and by the faint traces of a low, grass-covered earthen bank (H 0.05m) along the SW side. Stone facing on the scarp has collapsed in places. The interior is level. There is a hut site (KE108-052003-) in the S sector.
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.
