The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill grazing, on a heather and rush-covered terrace on a N-facing slope. The remains of a rectangular hut site (2.8m N-S; 2.3m E-W) defined by a largely collapsed, roughly built, stone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.8m). The entrance (Wth 0.5m) is at S. The level interior, which is obscured by moss-covered rubble, is cut (D 1m) into the upslope at S. Another hut site (CO092-063001-) is c. 25m to the N. A subsequent inspection of this hut site in June 2007 reported that the area has been planted in forestry and that this hut site has been partly demolished.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
