The National Monuments Service's description
At the foot of the NE slopes of Croaghmarhin, in poor, wet pastureland. Though marked on the OS maps as a 'Stone Circle', the remains at this site are probably those of a hut or a sheep-fold. A roughly circular area, 2.53m in diameter, is enclosed by upright stones and stones laid on edge. Directly E of this is a box-like arrangement of 5 upright stones, open to NE and measuring 1.45 x 1.09m internally.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1109. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
