The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on a break in the NE-facing slope of Droppa Mountain. A roughly rectangular area (int. 14m NW-SE; 8.5m SW-NE) defined by a partly collapsed curving drystone wall (T c. 0.5m; H 0.5m) S-N and by a grass-covered bank (Wth c. 0.5m; H c. 0.2m) on the straight NE and SE sides. The lower courses of the wall consist of large stones which protrude above the bog. The wall narrows slightly towards the top.
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.
