The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill grazing, on shallow bog in a heather-covered terrace, on a N-facing slope. The remains of a D-shaped hut site (6.7m E-W) defined by a partially collapsed, curving, drystone wall (T 0.7m; H 0.6m) with a straight E side (L 5.8m). The lower courses of the wall protrude from the shallow bog. The interior is slightly uneven and contains a scattering of rubble. There is an entrance (Wth 0.55m) at the SE. Field boundaries (CO092-064----) abut the hut site at the S, W and N. There is another hut site (CO092-062002-) c. 30m to the NE.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
