Internal diam. 21.5m N-S, 22.4m E-W
This is the most southerly of a group of four cahers located on gentle S sloping pasture on the SE side of Coomduff ridge. The enclosing element is much collapsed, surviving as a 2m wide stony bank which varies from .5m to 1.1m high externally and from .2m to 1.4m high internally. The bank is very much disturbed along its E and W sectors. An eroded gap, 3.7m wide, is located at NE and may represent the original entrance.
A poorly preserved circular hut (KE089-040001-) is located in the interior of the caher. It has an internal diameter of 5m, and its wall survives .9m high and 1.4m wide. An entrance gap, 1.6m wide, occurs at SW.
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. 578. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
