This ruined stone enclosure is located in level, boggy pasture on the N side of a ridge which overlooks loughs Namona and Cloonaghlin. Not marked on the OS maps, the area enclosed measures 7.7m N-S x 9.2m E-W and the sod-covered enclosing wall survives only one course high. It is 1.9m wide and its external facing is formed of boulder-like slabs. Two sheepfolds interrupt the circuit of the enclosure at SW and NW. That at NW is U-shaped in outline and appears to overlie an earlier structure. The SW example appears to follow the outline of an earlier circular structure.
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. 749. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
