The site is marked on both editions of the OS map as a circular enclosure and is known locally as a ceallúnach. It is located a short distance S of Portmagee Channel, in the SE corner of a small field. Modern field banks bound the E and S limits of the site, which is defined elsewhere as a platform 1.25m high above surrounding ground level. It is approximately circular in plan, measuring 29.5m N-S x 30.5m E-W. Small, upright grave-markers, averaging .25m high, occur within its W half.
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. 997. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
