Described by O'Sullivan and Sheehan (1996, 277, no. 946) as follows; 'This heavily overgrown square enclosure [KE079-035001-] is located on a slight rise close to the S bank of the Valencia river, just W of Cahersiveen town. Measuring 32m square internally, it is bounded at S by a 1m wide rubble wall that is faced with upright slabs on both sides. A wall of similar construction forms the S sections of the E and W sides of the enclosure, and elsewhere the site is defined by a stone built wall of relatively modern date. No entrance feature is apparent. The interior of the enclosure is traversed by an E-W row of intermittent upright slabs, located c. 10m from its N limits. On the S side of this row is a pair of conjoined huts [ KE079-035005/006-] and a leacht [KE079-035003-] which is surmounted by a stone cross [KE079-035----]. A large number of uninscribed upright slabs occur in the SE quadrant of the enclosure, which presumably relate to its period of use as a ceallúnach [KE079-035007-]'.
