The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture on cutaway bog, on a S-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Glantrasna River. The remains of curvilinear stone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.5m) extend to the SE for c. 65m through an area of largely cutaway bog (D 0.3-0.4m). Stones protrude above the surface of the remaining uncut bog. A standing stone (KE109-001016-) is c. 90m to the NW and there is an enclosure (KE109-001033-) c. 40m to the SE.
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.
