The National Monuments Service's description
'This is a complex of three denuded huts. A circular area of collapse 3m in diameter, 0.4m high is probably the remains of a hut. A curving arc of stones 5m to the south, one course in height and 2m in diameter is the remains of a second hut. Immediately to the south is an area of stone collapse, 5m in diameter, 0.6m high, and is probably the remains of another hut. Several intermittent stretches of low walling were noted in the immediate area.'
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).
