The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, in the uppermost field of the present system. An oval hut of corbelled drystone construction with a later sheep-shelter built in the interior. A walled passage, 2m long, leads up to the S facing entrance. D: 3.8 x 3.55m. H: 2.5m. T: .9m. Almost abutting its NE side is a large projecting rock outcrop which has been used as the roof of a small drystone-built animal shelter, 1m in maximum dimension. Directly N of this latter is another small rock-shelter, and a 3rd lies 18m to NE.
The above description is derived from J. Cuppage, ‘Corca Dhuibhne. Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey. Ballyferriter. Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne’ (1986), no. 1222. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
