In rough hill pasture, on the SE-facing slopes of Knockastumpa. The remains of this wedge tomb consist of two sidestones at N, indicating a chamber c. 2.8m long aligned E-W, and a leaning backstone at E which is partially covered by bog. The roofstone (2.4m x 1.4m; T 0.1m) lies on the ground to the S of the tomb. A leaning stone to the W and other nearby stones, partly obscured by the bog, may all be associated with the tomb.
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.
