The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, in a sheltered hollow on a S-facing hillslope. The remains of an oval hut site (3m N-S; 2.1m E-W) defined by an earthen bank (Wth 0.7m) which is faced internally by contiguous stone slabs (max. H 0.5m). A taller slab (H 0.75m; 0.9m x 0.25m) at the W may have formed one side of the entrance. An anomalous stone group (CO126-027----) lies c. 12m to the SSW.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
