The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on a NE-SW terrace on a NW-facing hillslope overlooking Bantry Bay. The remains of a D-shaped hut site (2.45m NW-SE) defined by a partially collapsed, curving, stone wall (T 0.55m; H 0.75m) with a straight SE side (L 3m) consisting of the face of outcropping rock. The wall comprises stone slabs that are set at right angles to the line of the wall and are leaning against each other. Rubble is scattered in the fern-covered level interior. Another hut site (CO130-054002-) is c. 40m to the SW.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
