In level pasture on the E bank of the Flesk River. This possible cashel is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map as a circular enclosure (diam. c. 35m) in a wooded area and on the 1893-4 OS 6-inch map as an oval enclosure (c. 35m NW-SE; c. 30m NE-SW) also in a wooded area. It is now evident as a densely overgrown oval mound (c. 40m N-S; c. 35m E-W). According to local information, stones were removed from here in the recent past. It is known locally as a children's burial ground (KE067-097----) called 'Cahireenaleanbh'. In the 1940s a place called 'Cahireen na Leanbh' was recorded as 'a circle surrounded by a stone wall' which was used as a burial ground (Schools Manuscript, Co. Kerry).
