K106-118002- is known locally as a burial ground. It may have originally been a stone fort or an early ecclesiastical site. It is roughly circular in plan and is enclosed by a denuded stone wall.
The poorly preserved foundations of a circular hut (KE106-118003-) abut the inner face of the enclosing element at SW; it has overall dimensions of 7.7m N-S x 8.6m E-W. Adjacent to this, at N, appears to be the lintelled ope to a blocked souterrain; this measures .85m x .45m.
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. 1004. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
