In rough pasture on a W-facing slope overlooking Loher Fort (KE106-015----) and Ballinskelligs Bay. The monument is indicated on the 1846 OS 6-inch map as an oval enclosure (c. 40m NW-SE; c. 30m NE-SW). An arc (C c. 40m) formed by a damaged scarp (H 0.3 at NW and SE and increasing to 2m along the W arc) is evident SE-NW. On top of the scarp, SW-NW, are traces of an earthen bank (Wth c. 2m; int. H 0.1m). An ENE-WSW field boundary truncates part of the N quadrant and grass-covered, recently excavated material has tumbled into the E quadrant. The almost level interior is uneven and stones are scattered on the surface. A partially collapsed stone field wall runs NE-SW across the SE portion of the interior.
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.
