The National Monuments Service's description
On the E slopes of the valley that extends NE from Dingle Town. A possible hut site now represented by a sub-circular area, 3.21m in diameter, enclosed by a bank of earth and stones, up to 1.1m high and c. 1.65m wide. There is an entrance gap in the E sector, and a large mound of stones outside this may be a field clearance dump.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1200. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
