The National Monuments Service's description
On outcropping rock with a sparse covering of shallow heather-covered peat, on the summit of a low hill. The remains of the circular hut site (diam. 1.6m) defined by the lower courses of a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.55m; H 0.2m), which is partially hidden by heather and gorse. Two large stones stand on the perimeter along the SE arc.
The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
