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 stretch of relict field wall (T c. 0.6m; H 0.4m) extends (L c. 47m) in a SW direction from the S bank of river to the NE arc of an enclosure (KE109-051----). The tops of the stones in the wall protrude above the blanket bog. A section (L c. 7m) of wall disappears under the bog towards the NE end. Another collapsed, relict field wall (L c. 30m), situated c. 65m to the E, meanders in a SW direction from S of the riverbank. The lower course stones of the latter section also protrude above the surface of the bog.
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.
