The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, within a network of relict field boundaries (CO114-068001-), on a break on a N-facing slope overlooking Coulagh Bay. The remains of a circular hut site (4.5m N-S; 4.4m E-W) defined by a circuit of stones (max. T 0.6m; max. H 0.55m) along the perimeter, which protrude above the surface of the bog. Similar remains of a crescent-shaped annexe (2.5m E-W; 2m N-S) abut the hut site externally at S. A wall of the field boundary network (CO114-068001-) extends to the N from the hut site.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
