The National Monuments Service's description
Within the W half of an enclosure (CO114-067001-). The poorly preserved remains of a rectangular hut site (4.1m N-S; 3.2m E-W) defined by a bank (Wth 0.9m; H 0.3m) of earth and stone at the N and E. At S a broken line of large stones defines the hut site and a break in this line may indicate the entrance location. The enclosure wall forms the W side of the hut site. A large stone lies in the interior.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
