The National Monuments Service's description
On rough hill pasture, on a NE-SW terrace on the NW-facing slopes of Gouladane overlooking Bantry Bay. The remains of a rectangular hut site (6m E-W; 3.2m N-S) defined by the lower courses of a stone wall (T 0.65m; H 1m). The entrance (Wth 0.65m) is at the centre of the N wall. Rubble is scattered in the level interior and along the external perimeter. The entire hut site, which is sheltered by a steeply rising ridge at the SE, is obscured by a dense cover of ferns and heather.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
