The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on the lower S-facing slopes of Tooth Mountain. Collapsed stone walls (T c. 0.6m; H 0.65m) protrude intermittently above the surface of the bog in a roughly rectangular area (c. 160m E-W; c. 90m N-S) and indicate a network of relict field walls. Gaps of varying lengths occur throughout the network. Rubble from the collapsed upper courses is scattered downslope. A cashel (KE111-001002-) is located within the network and a further series of relict field boundaries (KE111-001001-) lies in the immediate vicinity to the E.
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.
