A circular enclosure is marked at this location on both editions of the OS maps. The site survives as a 1.35m high circular platform which measures 27.8m N-S x 29.4m E-W. Coniferous trees border its SE sector, where a stone-built field boundary abuts it. A shallow depression below the platform at W is the only indication of the former presence of a fosse. It measures 2m wide and .3m deep. The site is described in the OSNB as a 'fort having a cave in it' (KE083-028001-) (Templeno, 3). It is located on a low scarp, directly E of a tributary of the Blackwater river.
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. 689. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
