This site is marked as a circular enclosure, titled 'Cave', on the first edition of the OS map. It is named 'Caher, Cave' on the OS Fair Plan, and survives as a large oval-shaped platform with overall dimensions of 37m NE-SW x 26m NW-SE. It rises up to 1.5m above surrounding ground level. Faint traces of an external fosse, 2m wide, are discernible at NE and SW. A mound of field clearance debris in the site's interior is locally reputed to mark the location of the now inaccessible souterrain (KE106-024001-).
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. 660. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
