The National Monuments Service's description
On a terrace at the foot of a low S-facing ridge on Gortaclare Mountain, in an area of rough patchy grazing and bare rock pavement. A circular hut site (ext. diam. 3.5m) defined by a single wall of large flags set on edge. The interior is filled with stone. A second hut site (CL006-042008-) lies c. 10m to the SW and two animal pens are adjacent to NW and NE. The hut sites lie within an extensive and multiperiod field system (CL006-0420001-) and a wedge tomb (CL006-042009-) lies c. 60m to SE.
