This denuded stone enclosure is located in marshy land onthe NE slopes of Knockanaskill, overlooking Kenmare Bay to S. Not marked on the OS maps, the site measures 18.5m N-S x 20m E-W in overall dimensions and the roughly circular enclosing stone wall is much collapsed and overgrown. Stretches of external stone facing can be traced around the W half of the site, and horizontal courses of large flat slabs survive to a height of .4m at NW. The inner wall-face is completely obscured by overgrowth. A gap at SE may indicate the location of the original entrance which is marked on its N side by an upright slab, .75m high. A concentration of stone collapse in the SW quadrant of the interior of the enclosure may represent the remnants of a hut (KE092-015001-).
