The National Monuments Service's description
In rough grazing, on a sheltered terrace on the rugged SE-facing slopes of Knockboy Mountain. The remains of a rectangular hut site (4m N-S; 1.6m E-W) defined by the lower courses of a stone wall (T 0.5m; H 0.25m) which protrudes above the surface of the shallow bog. The tops of the stones are also visible intermittently in the level interior. This possible hut site may be a booley hut. An enclosure (CO091-025001-) and a copper mine (CO091-029----) lie c. 100m to the SSE and c. 230m to the SE, respectively.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
