Situated three fields SE of KE013-015----, this univallate crescent-shaped cahir is naturally defended on the W side by a steep glen. The enclosing stone bank, which is now grass covered, is well defined and rises to a height of 1m internally and .8m externally.
In the interior are what appear to be three beehive huts (KE013-017002-, KE013-017003- & KE013-017004-), all interlocking. The stonework is covered in most places, but some drystone walling is still evident, especially in the hut furthest N. Its overall dimensions are internally 18m N-S, c 8m E-W and 1m-3.2m high. A small 3.4m wide opening is apparent to the SE. A 2.6m wide opening is evident in the enclosing bank.
The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 812. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
