The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on a NW-facing slope in a small clearance area within a coniferous wood. The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 2.7m N-S) defined by a moss-covered stone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.4m) N-SW and by a scattering of stones SW-N. The level interior, at the centre of which is a coniferous tree, is raised (H 0.3m) at the NW and cut (D 0.4m) into the upslope at the SE to compensate for the hillslope.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
