The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, in a hollow on the S side of a crest of an E-W ridge on Coomnadiha Mountain. A circular area (diam. c. 4.2m) defined by the lower courses of a partly collapsed, drystone wall (T c. 0.6m at base, 0.3m at top; H 1m) which narrows as it rises. Boulders are incorporated into the wall at NE, SE, SW and NW. Rubble from the collapsed upper courses is strewn along the perimeter. There is a hut site (KE109-075002-) 25m to the N.
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.
