This has since disappeared and a fieldbank now runs in a N-S direction down the E side. The enclosing earthen bank is 6m wide and rises to a maximum of 1m above the interior and 1m above the external ground level. A complete rotary quern and the top of a second one were located in the same field. The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle.
