The National Monuments Service's description
In rough grazing, on a sheltered terrace on a S-facing hillslope. The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 1.8m) defined by the jumbled lower courses of a drystone wall (T 0.55m; H 0.3m). The interior is level and a break (Wth c. 0.4m) in the wall at SE may indicate the entrance location. A D-shaped hut site (CO106-104001-) adjoins this hut site at the NW.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
