The National Monuments Service's description
Upslope from KE080-051----, on the E bank of the river, in dense forestry. A group of three huts set within an old field system. An oval enclosure, 6.5m in diameter, possibly a cattle-pen, occurs on the cliff-edge.
(1) KE080-052----; The collapsed foundations of a rectangular hut of rough construction. D: 3m x 2m.
(2) KE080-052001-; A small circular hut largely concealed beneath forest foliage; possibly an animal shelter. D: 1m.
(3) KE080-052002-; Foundations of a hut of roughly rectangular plan. A basal row of uprights flanks its inner wall-face. D: 1.9m x .9m.
Henry noted a cairn, two dolmens and a standing stone (KE080-052007-) at this location (1957, 79). None of these features were identified, though there are some amorphous mounds in the forest.
Most of the field walls have collapsed, leaving in places a series of individual uprights. Perhaps one of these was mistakenly identified as a standing stone.
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. 1327. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
