The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on the S bank of a tributary of the Glantrasna River, to the W of the Kenmare-Lauragh road. A layer of burnt material is exposed by a recently dug NE-SW drain in a blanket-bog hollow. The material is exposed on the upper ground surface, along both sides of the drain and at the base of the drain. In section, the layer (L 11m; D 0.7m) narrows towards the NE and SW ends along the SE face of the drain. The layer continues through the NW face of the drain.
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.
