In rough pasture, on a SE-facing slope. A circular area (13.2m N-S; 12.9m E-W) defined by a wall (T 1.4m; H 0.8m) with an inner and outer row of upright stone slabs set contiguously. The core of the wall is infilled with earth and small stones. The wall survives best W-NE contrasting with the low grass-covered wall NE-SE. A stone slab (Wth 1.2m) defines one side of the entrance at SE. The enclosing elements are partly collapsed SE-W. The SE portion of the interior is raised (H 0.3m) and the NW portion is cut (D 0.5m) into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. The interior is level and there is another enclosure (KE101-015010-) in the S half.
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.
