The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill grazing, on a terrace at the head of a valley sloping down to the NE, between Doughill Mountain to the NW and Douce Mountain to the SE. The remains of a square hut site (2.9m NW-SE; 2.8m NE-SW) defined by a jumbled stone wall (T 0.7m; H 0.3m). The level interior, which is obscured by ferns and rubble, is cut (D 0.2m) into the upslope at the S. A standing stone-pair (CO092-066001-) is c. 16m to the NW and a second standing stone-pair (CO092-067----) is c. 170m to the NE.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
