This very poorly preserved site, which is marked as a circular enclosure on the first edition of the OS map, is located in level grazing land on the W shore of Lough Currane. The subcircular enclosing wall, as depicted on the second edition, survives as a 1m wide band of stone collapse with no evidence of facing or coursing. Measuring .9m high internally and 1.1m high externally, it encloses an area 16.3m N-S x 21m E-W. There are two entrance gaps, 2.75m wide, located at NW and NE. Four field walls radiate outwards from the enclosure.
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. 703. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
