The National Monuments Service's description
In rough stony pasture, on the N-facing slopes of Tooreennamna Mountain. The remains of an oval hut site (7.1m E-W; 5.7m N-S) defined by a poorly preserved stone wall (T 0.45m; H 0.4m), the lower courses of which are partially hidden in the peaty soil. In order to compensate for the hillslope, the interior of the hut site is cut (D 0.2m) into the upslope at the S and raised (H 0.6m) at the N by a revetment wall which is now collapsed. A fallen radially set stone at the E may indicate the location of the entrance.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
