Within a field system (KE102-074001-). A circular area (52m N-S; 50m E-W) defined by a partially collapsed stone wall (T 2m; H 1m) consisting of an inner and an outer row of contiguous upright stones with rubble infill. The wall is best preserved S-N. The S portion of the interior is raised (H 0.5m) and the N portion is cut (D 0.9m) into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. An entrance (Wth 2.5m) at NW is defined by an upright stone slab on the N side. There is a hut site (KE102-074003-) in the interior, c. 12m E of the inner face of the W wall.
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.
