The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on the lower W-facing slopes of Knockastumpa. A collapsed curvilinear stone wall (T 0.65m; H 0.55m) protrudes above the surface of the shallow bog and extends upslope to the NE for c. 50m. From this point the main wall continues to the NE for c. 35 while another wall branches off to the NW for c. 40m and another branches off to the SE for c. 65m. Rubble is scattered downslope from the walls. A hut site (KE109-014003-) is immediately to the S of the initial stretch of relict wall. Another hut site (KE109-014002-) is situated immediately to the SW of these walls. Faint traces of another relict field wall (L 70m) are visible immediately to the S and W of this hut site.
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.
