In rough pasture, on the SE-facing slopes of Knockbeg. A circular area (17.35m N-S; 16.5m E-W) defined by twelve radially set stones (max. dims.: L 1m; T 0.5m; H 0.75m), which protrude above a low bank (H 0.2m) and are best preserved along the N arc. A scatter of loose stones occurs in the NE quadrant of the interior. Within the interior, off-centre to the NW, are the remains of an enclosure (KE109-004001-) which protrude intermittently above the surface of the bog. A cairn (KE109-004002-) lies c. 4m to the N and a network of field boundaries (KE109-004003-) is further to the N.
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.
