The National Monuments Service's description
The circular hut (KE070-002003-) occurs towards the centre of the system and measures 4.3m N-S x 4.5m E-W internally. Only the lower courses of crude horizontal masonry survive, and these are flanked on the inner face by a number of upright stones. The wall averages .8m thick and the N facing entrance, 1.85m wide, is defined on its W side by uprights. Adjacent at SE is a drystone structure of rectangular plan and similar construction; it measures 2.8m N-S x 2.5m E-W internally. Abutting the NW side of the hut is a small, circular structure, defined mostly by uprights. Both structures appear to have served as annexes to the main hut.
The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 14. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
