An enclosure and a number of walls are located in an area of level ground, partially covered by blanket peat, between the Finglas river and Lough Currane. Up to twelve stretches of walling occur, mostly extending N-S and averaging 30m long. Some portions are overlain by peat, but elsewhere they stand up to .35m high. They consist of lines of boulders with intermittently spaced upright slabs.
The subcircular enclosure (KE098-117----) occurs near the centre of the complex and measures 9.8m E-W x 8.8m N-S internally. Its wall stands to a maximum height of .5m and is faced both externally and internally with horizontally laid slabs which enclose a rubble core. A possible annex, in ruined condition, abuts the N side of 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. 43. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
