The National Monuments Service's description
'This is a collapsed circular hut, measuring 4.3m north-south by 4.6m east-west in total diameter, the collapse measuring a maximum of 1.2m in height. The walls are of drystone construction, surviving to a maximum of four courses in height, 0.5m height, especially obvious on the northern and southern sides of the hut. The stones appear to be ramped inwards, suggestive of possible corbelling. Collapse obscures the interior, although limestone slab set on edge may represent the original doorway.'
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).
