In pasture, on the SE side of a ridge, overlooking the valley of the Ardsheelhane River. An opening in the ground allows access into an earth-cut entrance passage (L 2.2m; Wth 0.85m) which slopes down to the SW. A creepway (Wth 0.65m; H 0.45m) at the bottom of this passage leads into a partially waterlogged earth-cut chamber (L c. 2m). A blocked-up construction shaft is visible to the E of the creepway. A second creepway in the E side of Chamber 1 leads into a second inaccessible chamber. A circular depression (diam. c. 0.6m; D c. 0.5m) and an oval depression (1m x 0.55m; D 0.45m) were also noted in the ground, 2m and 5m respectively, to the SW of the present opening to the souterrain.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
