A circular stone enclosure (KE090-009001-) with internal diameters of 12m N S x 11.6m E-W is located at the N end of this complex. It is partly overlain by later walling, particularly at W, and a modern enclosure abuts its internal face at SE. The enclosure wall survives to a maximum height of .5m and is on average 1.5m wide. It consists of a rubble core faced externally and internally with large flat slabs. Intermittent boulder-like slabs, set on edge, flank both its inner and outer faces. An upright slab, 1.2m high, defines the N side of a 1.1m wide entrance gap, while two smaller uprights form the other side. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J.

The poorly preserved remains of a small, circular hut (KE090-009002-) are located 15m to S. The enclosed area measures 2.5m in diameter and contains a scatter of loose stone. The drystone walling is set in rough courses with some uprights, and survives to a height of .2m; it is .5m wide. About 40m SE of the enclosure is a similar site (KE090-009004-), which is overlain almost completely by a modern enclosure of kidney-shaped plan. The original walling is only visible at S, where it is faced on both sides, and measures 1.5m wide and is up to .7m high externally. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J.

The ruined remains of two stone enclosures, a hut and a number of associated walls are located in peat-covered terrain below the ridge that joins Knocknagantee and Finnararagh mountains.

They survive in a partially collapsed state, and on surface inspection appear to be linked with it. They are composed of roughly laid courses thin slabs, with uprights set at intervals. They disappear in places beneath the peaty ground surface, but elsewhere stand up to .7m high and .5m wide. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J.

Six enclosures (see KE090-014001-, KE090-014002-, KE090-014004-, KE090-014005-, KE090-014006-) were identified on an aerial photograph (GSI, V. 89/90) taken in 1973. The area was inspected by C. Murphy on 7/05/2005 and found to be in rough grazing on boggy ground on the E side of the Small River. Mature forest of conifers are to the W, N and S. The landowner calls the enclosures 'hagggarts' and remembers making cocks of 'fionnán' (a type of long whitish moorgrass) with his father at these locations. He also recalls seeing neighbours using similar type enclosures for fionnán cocks on both sides of the river. This enclosure (diam. 8m) is circular in plan, enclosed by a low bank (Wth 0.7m; H 0.1m) and surrounded by an outer drain or ditch (Wth 1.2m; D 0.35m). The material from the ditch formed the protecting bank for the cock of 'fionnán'. Another enclosure (KE090-014004-) adjoins this enclosure to the S. According to the landowner, this is similar to the other enclosures that were identified in the area.

Internal diam. 22.7m N-S, 21m E-W This site, not marked on the OS maps, is located on the summit of a low rise in rough pasture on the E side of the Small river valley, overlooking the estuary of the Sneem river. Its enclosing wall is now reduced to a sod-covered stone bank which is flush with the level of the interior of the site. It survives to a maximum external height of .95m at N, where it is faced with rough drystone masonry and is intermittently revetted by slabs set on edge. The sides of a well-defined entrance gap at E, 2.65m wide, are faced with upright slabs. The interior of the site is bisected by a modern fence. Towards its centre is a semicircular arc of walling, probably the remains of a hut (KE091-025001-), which measures 3.8m in internal diameter and survives as a neatly coursed wall of drystone masonry, .6m wide and .15m high.

Located in a commanding position that overlooks the Sneem river valley to S, this fulacht fiadh was reused as a ceallúnach burial ground. The mound, measuring 14.8m N-S and ranging from .6m to 1m high, is composed of large quantities of fire-cracked stone. Horseshoe-shaped in plan, it is open at E. Here two upright slabs and some quartz blocks may relate to its use as a burial ground. A small stream runs nearby at SE. The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J.
