No surface trace survives of the enclosure marked at this location on the first edition of the OS map. O'Connell described the site in 1937, and the following account is based on his report (OPW). It was a roughly circular caher, 86 feet (26.2m) in diameter, and was located in gently sloping land on the SW edge of Lough Currane. Its enclosing wall was in a very ruined condition, and the foundations of two huts were located in the S half of its interior, one (KE098-042001-) having a diameter of 6.7m. Both huts featured entrances facing towards the centre of the site, and openings to a possible souterrain (KE098-042002-) were located in each of their interiors. Approximately 23m S of the caher was a boulder with 'sharpening scores' on its surface. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 629.

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
