Situated immediately NE of Carrigafoyle Church (927), this site consists of a sub-circular area enclosed by a low, wide bank. It has been much levelled and is now barely perceptible. The enclosing bank is only visible from the NW through W to S to SE, and appears elsewhere only as a slight rise. The bank is on average 5m wide and rises to .4m high. A slight fosse can be noticed to the W, where it is 2m wide and .2m deep. The internal diameter is 17m N-S and 17m E-W.
The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 1019. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
