The National Monuments Service's description
'This is a collapsed circular hut, measuring 3m in diameter, the collapse measuring a maximum of 0.9m in height. The walls are of a roughly coursed drystone construction, surviving to a maximum of four courses in height, 0.4m in height. The stones appear to be ramped inwards suggestive of possible corbelling. A possible collapsed entrance occurs to the north, while the hut itself abuts a low field wall to the west.'
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).
