This complex of walls is located on the SE spur of Macklaun, which forms the N side of the Meelagh river valley. Several lengths of walls, surviving as lines of upright slabs spaced approximately 1m to 2m apart, run along the slope of the ridge. They are enveloped in peat at their lower ends. The walls occupy an area c. 435m x c. 400m. An example of rock art (KE071-053----) occurs at the E end of the system.
The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 60. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
