In pasture, on top of a hillock, near the N bank of the Glantrasna River. An elevated circular area (28.5m N-S; 27.5m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 1.4m; int. H 0.35m; ext. H 3.15m) SW-NNW and NNE-E, and elsewhere by a scarp (Wth 3.5m; H 2.7m). There is an intervening fosse (Wth 2.5m; D 0.35m) ESE-W and an outer bank (Wth 2.15m; H 0.8m) ESE-SW. The entrance (Wth 2m), with a downsloping ramp, is at NE and there is also a gap in the enclosing bank at NW. The level interior is shaded by deciduous trees. There is a possible souterrain (KE109-007001-) in the interior. 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. Date of upload: 30 May 2011
