The National Monuments Service's description
On a terrace, within a field system (KE070-119----). The remains of a circular hut site (1.37m x 1.3m) defined by a drystone wall (T 1m; H 0.5m) which has been incorporated into an animal shelter, built in recent times. A flat-lintelled doorway (Wth 0.7m) at ENE may have served as the original entrance and may have led into a possible porch. The doorway has been loosely infilled. (Harte 2002, 150, no. D703)
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
