The National Monuments Service's description
A settlement complex occupying an area 130m E-W x c. 40m N-S, in the upper reaches of the Ballyheabought river valley. Only 2 of the 6 structures in the complex seem large enough for human habitation, the remainder being possibly outhouses or animal shelters. Also within the complex are some disused field walls and a single completely enclosed field. The 2 huts are of drystone construction, one oval (KE043-094001-), the other circular (KE043-094----). (1) D: 3.3 to 3.75m. H: .8m. T: 1.25 to 1.6m. (2) Considerably modified. D: 4m. H: 1.2m. T: 1.5 to 1.8m.
