The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on a break in the N-facing slope of Knocknaveacal. A subcircular area (8.2m E-W; 7.8m N-S) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T c. 0.6m; H 0.9m) which is cut (D 0.1-0.3m) S-W into the upslope. The lower course stones protrude above the bog surface. Rubble from the collapsed upper courses is scattered along the perimeter, both internally and externally. The interior is level. Outside the enclosure the ground rises steeply to the S and falls away steeply to the N.
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.
