The National Monuments Service's description
In rough stony pasture, on the floor of a sheltered corrie at the NE side of Knockmoyle Mountain. The remains of a rectangular hut site (3.7m E-W; 1.8m N-S) defined by a partially collapsed drystone wall (T 0.7m; H 1.2m). The remaining lower courses of the wall are well constructed. There is an entrance (Wth 0.55m) at the NW corner. A roughly constructed stone wall (T 0.5m; H 1m) extends W from the external NW corner for a distance of c. 6m. There is an enclosure (KE081-043002-) c. 50m to the S.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
