This site, known locally as a 'liss', is not marked on the OS maps. It is located in pasture W of the Coomnahorna river, and survives as a roughly oval-shaped platform, 21.8m NW-SE x 19.5m NE-SW, which is covered in a layer of dense vegetation. A field wall abuts the site at NW, a track skirts its SE sector and field clearance debris has been deposited in its SW quadrant, distorting the outline of the site. A section of rock outcrop protrudes in its interior, where a souterrain (KE106-120001-) is reputedly located (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. 661. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
