The National Monuments Service's description
Sited on a level terrace near the top of a steep E facing slope with views over Tralee Bay. The land use consists of rough, upland grazing for sheep. Rectangular hut site (ext. dims. ) 4m N-S x 3m E-W), aligned N-S, with a maximum wall height of c. 1m. There is no obvious entrance, possibly indicating it was used as an animal enclosure. A 2m long, semi-circular extension, though more ruinous, is built onto the N end. Another large hut site lies c. 10m to the N.
