Internal diam. 20.2m NE-SW, 23.1m NW-SE
This poorly preserved enclosure is one of a group of four cahers located on the SE slopes of Coomduff. A NW-SE field boundary bisects it, and a further two field walls extend SW from this across its interior. The enclosing element survives mostly as a band of stone collapse up to 4m wide, but at NW it is faced with large boulder-like slabs and is 1.45m wide. The wall averages 1m high externally, but at SE, where a small stream skirts the site, it is 2.1m high. A stony mound in the SW sector of the caher's interior may represent the remains of a hut (KE089-041001-). It measures 2.8m in overall diameter.
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. 579. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
