The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on bog, on an E-facing slope overlooking the valley of the Owgarriff River. The remains of a circular hut site (7.8m N-S; 7.7m E-W) defined by a grass-covered bank (Wth 0.5m; H 0.2m) through which stones are exposed intermittently. Rushes occupy the wet, level interior, which is raised (H 0.25m) at the E and cut (D 0.2m) into the upslope at the W. There is another hut site (CO115-136002-) c. 60m to the NE.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
