The National Monuments Service's description
On a rocky terrace, on the steep W slopes of Ballysitteragh mountain. Two conjoined 'cloghauns' are shown here on the 2nd edition of the OS map. Only 1 hut survives. It is a circular corbelled drystone structure, now bisected by a later wall. An oval animal shelter has been constructed on the line of the S part of the wall, and the entrance at SSE leads into a small enclosure. D: c. 3.4m. H: 2m.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1117. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
