In rough hill pasture, on the N-facing slopes of The Paps of Dana. An oval area (9m E-W; 7m N-S) defined by a roughly constructed drystone wall (T 0.4m; H 1.5m). The entrance break is at W, with a wall (L 6m; T 0.3m; H 1.2m) extending to the W from its N side. Internally the wall extends inward (L 1.5m) from the face of the wall at S. A mound barrow (KE068-107----) lies c. 30m to the NW. Compiled by: Elizabeth Byrne, Ursula Egan and Sheila Ronan, Archaeological Survey Unit, University College, Cork.
