The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture on top of a knoll, on a NE-facing slope overlooking the valley of the Drimminboy River. A rectangular area (9.8m E-W; 3.7m N-S) defined by the lower courses of drystone wall (T 0.6m; int. H 0.55m) which consists of large boulders. The enclosure is built up (H 0.2-1m) externally with roughly constructed, uncoursed rubble facing. The collapsed upper courses are strewn along the perimeter, especially S of the enclosure externally. The interior is level. There is a hut site (KE111-004005-) c. 70m 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.
