The National Monuments Service's description
Within a field system (KE072-006----). The remains of a rectangular hut site (4.6m E-W; 1.3m N-S) defined by a partially collapsed drystone wall (T 0.7m; H 0.2-1m) which consists of mainly small, boulder-type stones. The wall is best preserved along the W and E sides. The damaged entrance is at N, the S side of which is largely collapsed.
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.
