The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on flat ground in an area of karst limestone. Listed as ‘Hut site’ in the RMP (1996). Indicated on a set of annotated maps in 1994 (pers. comm. T. Coffey, SMR file). On inspection in 2000 two fields defined by drystone walls of modern construction and marked on the 1916 OS 6-inch map were found to have been altered to make a larger field. No hut site was in evidence at this location.
