What is recorded here
This circular enclosure, marked on the first edition of the OS map, is located on the crest of a ridge overlooking Ballinskelligs Bay to NW. A collapsed drystone wall encloses a subcircular area measuring 14m N-S x 12.2m E-W. The wall survives .75m high and is 1.3m wide. A very small rectangular structure, measuring 1.2m x 1.65m internally, abuts the enclosure at N.
The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 744. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
