Located about 250m S of KE087-009---- is a slightly elevated triangular platform that measures 18.5m x 13m in overall dimensions. Towards its N end are the sod-covered foundations of two huts.
Close to the modern field boundary which runs nearby the complex at E is an opening to a well-built, drystone souterrain. Access to the passage is gained by removing a roof lintel. The passage measures 1.95m long N-S, .6m wide and .9m high and narrows toward its rounded end-walls. An earth-cut creepway opens off its SE corner and gives access to an E-W passage, the uppermost stone courses of which are slightly corbelled. It measures .7m wide, .9m high and 1.8m long. Roof collapse prevents further access.
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. 1199. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
