In pasture, on a S-facing slope, with a view to Magillycuddy's Reeks. The remains of an enclosure (82m N-S; 76m E-W) defined by traces of a low earthen bank (Wth c. 2.5m; H 0.3m) NE-NW. There are intermittent, faint traces of an internal fosse (Wth 10m; D 0.4m). A children's burial ground (KE048-113002-) and an ogham stone (KE048-113003-) are in the interior. According to Dennehy (2001, 20-3), the occurrence of the ogham stone and ceallúnach together suggests the possibility that the enclosure is ecclesiastical in nature. (Dennehy 2001, 20-23).
