The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on a NE-SW terrace with outcropping rock on a NW-facing hillslope overlooking Bantry Bay. The remains of an oval hut site (3.4m E-W; 2.4m N-S) defined by a fern-covered, partially collapsed, stone wall (T 0.5m; H 0.8m) which is embedded in the peaty soil. The lower course consists of mainly large stones, one of which (H 0.8m; L 1.8m; T 0.35m) forms the SW side. The entrance (Wth 0.4m) is at the E. Rubble is scattered along the perimeter, especially along the W arc externally.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
