The National Monuments Service's description
Within an enclosure (CO090-013----), in an area of rough hill grazing on bog, on a SW-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Kerry River. A possible hut site was recorded in this enclosure in 1988. This entire area has been deep-ploughed in recent times and there is now no visible surface trace of the possible hut site.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
