The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill grazing on bog, on a terrace on the upper S-facing slopes of Shehy Beg with views across a valley to Nowen Hill. An oval area (5.6m N-S; 3.4m E-W) is defined by the lower courses of a partially collapsed drystone wall (T 0.8m; H 0.7m) protruding above the surface of the shallow bog. A hut site (CO093-078004-) is in the N half of the enclosure and a second hut site (CO093-078002-) is c. 20m to the E.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
