The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, at the foot of a N-facing slope, close to the S bank of the Glanrastel River. A pentagonal area (dims. 7.1m N-S; 5.8m E-W) defined by the lower courses of a drystone wall (T c. 0.7m at base, narrowing to 0.5m at top; H 0.85m) at N and W, by a large boulder at S and by smaller boulders which form part of the lower course of the NE and SE walls. The sloping interior is covered with loose rubble. Rubble is also strewn along the outer perimeter. The SW terminal of a relict field boundary (KE109-051004-) abuts the NE angle of the enclosure.
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.
