The National Monuments Service's description
On an artificial terrace, high on the W slopes of Bentee. A well-built corbelled hut of circular plan, best preserved at E. Two slabs flank the exterior of the hut at NE and may have been part of the entrance; at its inner end a slab with a central depression may have been the pivot-stone for a door-post. A rectangular wall-niche is located in the interior at E. Externally at SE is a pillar stone of uncertain function. D: 4m x 3.7m. H: 1.1m. T: 1m. A number of U-shaped structures in the immediate vicinity may be animal shelters or outhouses.
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. 1272. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
