The National Monuments Service's description
In rough grazing, with occasional surface boulders, on a break on a NW-facing hillslope. The remains of a circular hut site (7.5m NE-SW; 7m NW-SE) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.4m) which is partially obscured by heather and moss. The almost level interior is raised (H 0.7m) at the NW and cut (D 0.4m) into the upslope at the SE to compensate for the hillslope. There is a hut site (CO106-067004-) c. 25m to the S and two other hut sites (CO106-067007-, CO106-067008-) are c. 30m to the W.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
