Internal diam. 21.5m
This poorly preserved circular caher, containing the remains of a probable hut, is situated on the N slopes of the ridge which separates Loughs Namona and Cloonaghlin from Lough Iskanamacteery. It is not marked on the OS maps. The enclosing wall is reduced to a bank of sod-covered collapse which features traces of roughly constructed drystone facing externally at S. The bank measures 2.5m wide and .8m high. A ruined circular structure, probably a relatively modern sheepfold, overlies a circular enclosure (KE090-016001-) in the interior of the site. The latter measures about 10m in internal diameter, and its enclosing bank averages 1.7m wide and .7m high. An entrance, 1.4m wide, is located at E.
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. 611. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
