The National Monuments Service's description
In rough heather-covered hill pasture, on a NW-facing slope with views N over Sliabh Luachra. The remains of a rectangular hut (5.2m E-W; 3.6m N-S) defined by a moss and grass-covered, collapsed, drystone wall (T 0.65m; H 0.3m). There is an entrance (Wth 0.65m) at N. The N portion of the interior is raised (H 0.3m) to compensate for the hillslope. An enclosure (KE068-127001-) lies c. 100m to the S.
