What is recorded here

Thirty-three metres across on rising Kerry pasture, the fort rings the land with a broken earthen bank and shallow fosse. Its three gaps face east and south, inviting entry rather than blocking it. The Ballyline River flows southwest below, witnessing whatever life moved through the circle when the grass was young.

Internal diameter 33m N-S, 32m E-W This site is situated on slightly rising pastureland with good views in all directions. The Ballyline River runs SW of the site. The site consists of a circular area enclosed by an earthen bank and exterior fosse. The enclosing bank is best preserved to the E and S and measures a maximum height of 1.6m externally and .7m above the interior. The width of the bank at the base measures 4m. Except from the NE to E, a slight flat-bottomed fosse 2m wide and c .6m deep is evident. Three gaps in the bank to the E, SSE and SSW measure 4m, 5m and c 4m respectively.
