The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture on cutaway bog, on a S-facing slope with outcropping rock, overlooking the valley of the Glantrasna River. The remains of a curvilinear stone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.4m) extend to the SW for c. 89m. At c. 34m from the SW end, a branch wall extends to the SE for c. 36m. At the NE end, the main wall abuts the approximate centre of another wall which extends c. 63m N-S. An enclosure (KE109-001034-) is c. 220m to the SW.
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.
