The National Monuments Service's description
Three circular huts occupy the level interior of the caher. The largest (KE079-044001-) occurs in the NE quadrant, where it abuts the enclosing bank. Measuring 6.2m x 5.9m internally, its wall averages 1.5m wide and .75m high. Where exposed, its inner face is regularly coursed with thin slabs. The entrance is not identifiable.
The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 586. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
