The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill grazing, on bog, on a S-facing slope and within a network of relict field boundaries (CO057-008001-). The remains of a D-shaped hut site (4.5m N-S) defined by a curving stone wall (T 0.5m; H 0.3m) with a straight N side (L 4m). The stone wall protrudes intermittently above the surface of the bog. The interior is raised (H 0.2m) at the S to compensate for the hillslope. The linear wall at the N is incorporated into an E-W field wall.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
