The National Monuments Service's description
In rough peaty hill pasture, on a SW-facing slope and within an enclosure (CO115-058003-). The remains of a D-shaped hut site (2.9m N-S) defined by the partially bog-covered lower courses of a curving drystone wall (T 0.4m; H 0.2m) with a straight S side (L 3m) consisting of the linear face of outcropping rock. The interior of the hut site is obscured by rushes. Another hut site (CO115-058001-) is c. 60m to the N.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
