What is recorded here
In rough hill pasture, on a terrace, on a N-facing rocky slope, in the valley of the Feabunaun stream. A circular area (diam. 7.5m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 1m; int. H 0.1m; ext. H 0.3m) ESE-S and by a scarp (H .4m) S-ESE. The level interior is in pasture. A more recent, irregular-shaped, stone-walled enclosure (24m E-W; 22m N-S), which is outlined on the 1895 OS 6-inch map, surrounds this enclosure.
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.
