This site is marked on both editions of the OS maps as a circular enclosure. It is located in low-lying pasture, a short distance S of the Inny river, and survives as a raised circular platform of earth and stone. Standing up to 1.4m above surrounding ground level, it measures 33m N-S x 32m E-W in overall diameter. Faint traces of an enclosing bank are discernible at the N sector of the site.
The poorly preserved remains of an oval hut (KE089-047001-) occupy the centre of the enclosure. This measures 8m x 5.5m internally, and its wall of earth and stone measures .6m wide and .3m high.
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. 638. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
