The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on a level break to the W of a river, on a SW-facing boggy slope. The remains of a D-shaped hut site (2.5m N-S) defined by a grass and rush-covered bank (Wth 0.7m; H 0.3m) of earth and stone along the straight S side (L 4.3m) and elsewhere by upright slabs (T 0.1m; H 0.5m). The bank varies in height along the S side. Some of the slabs lean towards the interior. Rushes obscure the entire hut site.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
