In rough hill pasture, on a terrace on a S-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Feabunaun stream and within a network of relict field boundaries (KE102-062007-). A roughly circular area (8.7m E-W; 7.8m N-S) defined by stones (T 0.5m; H 0.5m) with long axes on the circumference. Ten stones are upright and the remainder are leaning or prostrate. A field boundary wall skirts the enclosure from NNW-NNE. There is a hut site (KE102-062017-) within the interior. 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. Date of upload: 30 May 2011
