The National Monuments Service's description
'This is a roughly made, oblong, denuded hut, measuring 3m north-south by 3.2m east-west in diameter internally. The walls are of a drystone construction, surviving to a maximum of four courses in height, averaging 0.6m thick and 0.5m in height. A possible entrance occurs on the southwest side of the site, but is partially obscured by collapse. No internal features were noted. A concentration of collapsed stone on the southeastern side may represent the remains of a second, possibly conjoined hut.'
The above description was published in F. Coyne, 'Islands in the clouds: an upland archaeological study on Mount Brandon and the Paps, Co. Kerry.' (Kerry Co. Council in association with Aegis Archaeology, 2006).
