The National Monuments Service's description
In rough peaty pasture, on a N-facing slope. The remains of an oval hut site (2.9m N-S; 1.9m E-W) defined by a peaty bank (Wth 0.55m; H 0.25m) which is revetted by upright contiguous slabs E-SSE and elsewhere by stones which protrude intermittently from the bank. Displaced stones lie in the interior and beside the enclosing element.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
