In rough pasture, on the W bank of a stream overlooking the valley of the Sheen River to the S. A grass-covered horseshoe-shaped mound (9m N-S; 5.7m E-W; H 0.8m) of burnt material with an opening (2.7m E-W) facing E. Some shattered stone is evident on the E bank of the stream. Traces of a damaged field boundary along the W bank of the stream abut the mound at N and S. A hut site (KE093-052002-) and a relict field system (KE093-052003-) are in the immediate vicinity. 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. Date of upload: 30 May 2011
