The National Monuments Service's description
A large circular hut with a well-preserved drystone wall along its S half which averages .5m high and 1.9m wide. An entrance at SE features a threshold slab, exterior to which are two prostrate slabs which may have served as lintels. There is a mound of stone collapse in the interior at SE. A wall, probably contemporary, partially encircles the site at E.
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. 1381. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
