The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill grazing, in a sheltered fern-covered hollow, on a SW-facing slope. The remains of a possible circular hut site (diam. 5m) defined by an intermittent arrangement of stones (max. T 0.5m; max. H 0.4m) along the perimeter. Ferns obscure this possible hut site.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
