What is recorded here

Located in low-lying land overlooking Rossbehy Creek, this D-shaped area is enclosed by a bank of stone collapse and is marked as an L-shaped bank on the second edition of the OS map. The enclosure has an overall diameter of 18m, and the enclosing element reaches a maximum height of 1.2m and a width of 1.3m. The overgrown interior features much loose stone, which may be field clearance material. A large boulder blocks the entrance to a Man-made underground passage (KE063-004001-), marked 'Cave' on the second edition of the OS map, which is located midway along the enclosing wall at S. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 755.
