The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill grazing, on the N side of a terrace on the S-facing slopes of Carrignaspirroge. The remains of a D-shaped hut site (4.8m N-S) defined by the lower courses of a partially collapsed, curving, drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.5m) with a straight S side (L 5m). The wall protrudes above the surface of the shallow bog. A rectangular annexe (2m E-W; 0.85m N-S; H 0.8m) is attached to the SW side of the hut site. Nearby stone slabs indicate that it may have been roofed with lintels.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
