The National Monuments Service's description
Situated on a gentle SE facing slope on the E side of Drom Hill, Roughly circular area KE035-038---- is enclosed by a single earthen bank.
A circular stone hut (KE035-038001-) occurs a little SW of the centre of the enclosure. The remains consist of a circular, collapse filled depression surrounded by a grass-grown bank of stones averaging .8m in height externally, .65m internally and 2m in width. A short stretch of the inner wall face is visible to NW and the internal diameter is approximately 4.1m NE-SW and 4.4m SE-NW.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 400. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
