In rough hill pasture, on a N-facing slope, overlooking Kenmare Bay. A collapsed curvilinear stone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.5m) protrudes above the surface of the bog and extends to the SW for c. 14m. A similar type wall, situated a short distance to the S, runs upslope to the S for c. 75m and then veers to the SE for c. 20m. Several stones survive in an upright position. Rubble is scattered in the bog near the wall. There is a fulacht fia (KE109-03402-) c. 20m to the NE. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry.

In pasture, on the N bank of a stream, directly W of the main Kenmare-Lauragh road. The location of this possible fulacht fia was pointed out by the landowner as the area where he had spread material from a mound of burnt stone and black earth. The area is now planted with evergreen trees and covered by dense undergrowth, making inspection impossible. There is a burnt spread (KE109-066002-) c. 65m to the NW.

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.
