This circular enclosure, which measures 24.4m N-S x 23.4m E-W internally, is located on sloping pasture on the S side of Farraniaragh mountain and overlooks Darrynane Harbour. It is recorded in the OSNB as a 'large fort and burial place for children' (Kilcrohane, 11). The drystone enclosing wall is well-defined, though only its lower courses are preserved. It is 1.85m wide and is formed with coursed slabs that are flanked internally and externally with upright slabs. A series of slabs set on edge define a 2m long entrance passage, 1.3m wide, at SW.
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. 1002. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
