The National Monuments Service's description
On the SW-sloping floor of a NE-SW ravine, in pasture within a large multiperiod field system (CL009-059001-). This circular hut site (int. dims. 5.7m N-S; c. 4.7m E-W) is defined by a grass-covered bank of stone wall collapse (Wth 2m; H 0.3-0.7m). Several large stones protruding from the bank, especially at NNW-NE, may be the remains of an outer wall-face. There is a wide opening (Wth 3.8m) at the E. A cashel (CL009-059070-) lies c. 39m to the NW.
