The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on a S-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Glantrasna River. A circular area (8.8m N-S; 8m E-W) defined by a ruinous drystone wall (T 0.65m; H 0.65m). The partially grass-covered lower courses protrude above the surface of the bog. An upright stone slab (H 0.65m; L 1m; T 0.25m) is set along the perimeter at E. The S portion of the interior is raised (H 0.6m) and the N portion is cut (D 0.3m) into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. The interior is level. A relict field boundary (KE109-001041-) abuts the enclosure at the NW.
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.
