The National Monuments Service's description
In the W sector of an enclosure (KE109-092006-), 30m S of the N wall. A roughly square area (6.4m N-S; 6m E-W) defined by a roughly built, collapsed drystone wall (T c. 0.55m; H 0.6m). Four large boulders are incorporated into the wall: one at the NW, SE and SW corners and one in the E wall. The lower course of the wall is a single stone wide and protrudes above the bog. The interior, which is strewn with rubble, slopes down to the SE where it levels out. There is a hut site (KE109-092003-) 16m to the SE.
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.
