The National Monuments Service's description

In rough pasture, on the N side of a terrace on the steep N-facing hillslopes overlooking Glen Lough. The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 8m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 1m; H 0.15m). The level interior is raised (H 1.1m) at the N and cut (D 0.3m) into the upslope at the S. The raised downslope portion of the hut site is faced with the remains of a stone revetment along the NW-NE arc. Rubble from the eroding revetment is scattered downslope. There is another hut site (CO103-028002-) c. 25m to the SW.

The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
