A circular enclosure is marked on the first edition of the OS map at this location, adjacent to a coastal cliff on the S side of Knockstooka mountain. There is no visible trace of the enclosure, and the area in which it was located is occupied by a series of N-S cultivation ridges (KE105-005001-). A souterrain (KE105-005002-) is reputed to exist at this location (local information).
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. 657. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.

This remains an important historical record, but the official description says the monument is no longer visible or has been destroyed.
The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
