The National Monuments Service's description
In rough peaty hill pasture, within a network of relict field boundaries (CO114-075003-) on a terrace on the NE-facing slopes of Miskish Mountain. The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 2.8m) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 0.75m; H 0.25m) from which stones protrude at irregular intervals. The entire hut site is obscured by a dense cover of rushes. There is a standing stone (CO114-075001-) c. 45m to the W.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
