The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on a terrace on a W-facing slope within a network of pre-bog field boundaries (CO115-090001-). The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 7m) defined by a partially eroded gorse-covered bank (Wth 0.9m; H 0.3m) of earth and stone. Traces of an inner and outer row of contiguous slabs are visible along the W arc. Tufts of gorse grow in the level interior. Another hut site (CO115-090003-) is 5m to the W and a fulacht fia (CO115-090004-) is 10m to the S.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
