The National Monuments Service's description
In rough undulating hill pasture, on a W-facing slope within a network of relict field boundaries (CO115-060----). The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 2m) defined by a stone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.3m) which has collapsed into the interior. The original base stones protrude above the surface of the remaining shallow bog. A relict wall from the field boundary network skirts the N arc of the hut site.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
