The National Monuments Service's description
On N bank of a small river on W slopes of Brandon mountain. A circular corbelled drystone hut located at the SE side of a D-shaped enclosure, 17 x 18.8m in external diameter, which is defined by only very fragmentary remains of a wall, and by a scarp, the interior being raised above the external ground level. The hut has 4 definite and 2 possible wall niches. D: 3.8m. H: 1.7m. Directly to west of the hut are vague traces of a possible 2nd hut.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1133. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
