The National Monuments Service's description

Against the N stone field boundary in a heavily overgrown pasture field, on a gentle N-facing slope overlooking Roaringwater Bay. The remains of a D-shaped hut site (2.1m N-S) defined by a curving bank (Wth 1m; H 0.5m) of earth and stone with a straight S side (L 2.2m). The bank is obscured by long grass. The field wall at S appears to overlay the bank giving the hut site its present D-shaped appearance.

The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Cork. Volume 5' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
