In rush-covered grazing on the lower S-facing slopes of Aghatubride Mountain with views S to Ballinskelligs Bay. A roughly semicircular area (20m N-S) with a straight N side (L 23m) is enclosed by an earthen bank (Wth c. 1.5m; int. H 0.3m; ext. H 0.8m) NE-SE, by a scarp (H 0.7m) SE-SW and by the remains of a bank (Wth 1.6m; int. H 0.2m; ext. H 0.7m) SW-NW. The straight N side is slightly convex and is defined by an earthen bank (Wth 1.6m; int. H 0.95m; ext. H 0.1m) NW-NE, which is cut into the upslope to the N. There are traces of external stone facing on the bank along the E arc; a small stream also flows along this arc. Rushes largely obscure the interior.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
