B. Ó Ciobháin recorded the placename 'Móta Pheig Ní Shé' [Peig O'Shea's moat] in this townland (SMR file). Joyce (1913, vol. 1, 290) states that 'the large high mounds are often called mota in Irish, the same as the English word moat'. The precise location of this possible mound or moat is not known.
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.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
