The National Monuments Service's description
Abutting the inner S face of the hexagonal enclosure (CL003-036001-) on the E summit of Turlough Hill. Two small conjoined hut sites defined by a low, grass-covered stone spread. Occasional walling is visible and comprises thin flags in courses similar to the construction of the large enclosure. The W hut site measures 5m E-W; 4.4m N-S. The E one is traceable for 8m E-W and is robbed out at E (Wth 2.7m). These huts are built across one of the entrance features of the large enclosure and may be a later feature. A number of other hut sites abut the inner face of the large enclosure at various points around the perimeter.
