The National Monuments Service's description
In recently planted forest, on a level terrace of a N-facing mountain slope. The remains of a roughly circular hut site (3.2m E-W; 2.7m N-S) defined by a low wall that consists of stones piled no more than three high. The wall along the S arc comprises slabs (L 0.6m; Wth 0.35m) that appear to have stood upright as revetment against the higher ground. These slabs are now slumped against the upslope. The wall is best preserved NW-S.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
