The National Monuments Service's description
'This is a collapsed conjoined drystone hut. The western hut is sub-circular in plan, measuring 1.1m east-west by 2.2m north south internally, the interior of the hut infilled with collapse. The walls are a maximum of 1.8m high and 1m thick. A 0.7m wide entrance occurs to the west. This is linked to the eastern hut by a now blocked lintelled passage. This hut is also filled with collapse, and measures 1m east-west by 1.9m north-south internally.'
The above description was published in F. Coyne, 'Islands in the clouds: an upland archaeological study on Mount Brandon and the Paps, Co. Kerry.' (Kerry Co. Council in association with Aegis Archaeology, 2006).
