This site has been levelled for the last 20- 30 years, but it can still be picked up on the Geological Survey of Ireland aerial photographs (1974). The above description is derived from C. Toal, ‘North Kerry Archaeological Survey’. Dingle. Brandon in association with FAS Training and Employment Authority (1995), no. 338.
