The National Monuments Service's description
In rough gorse-covered pasture, at the foot of a S-facing rocky mountain slope. The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 3.4m) defined by a stone wall (T 0.4m; H 0.1m) E-W and by the eroding face of a bank W-E. The level interior is raised (H 1m) at the S and cut (D 0.6m) into the upslope at N to compensate for the steep slope. There is an enclosure (CO103-027002-) c. 25m to the SW and another hut site (CO103-027004-) is c. 60m to the E.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
