The National Monuments Service's description
The foundations of a subcircular, drystone-built hut (KE079-092001-), marked 'Cloghaun (site of)' on the OS maps, are located in the S half of the rath's interior. It has an internal diameter of 6.2m and a possible entrance at NW. Its interior is filled with stone, and a particularly dense stone scatter abuts it externally at N.
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. 530. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
