The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on a break in the SW-facing rocky slopes of Colly East Mountain. The remains of a circular hut site (4.9m E-W; 4.7m N-S) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.6m). Rubble is scattered along the perimeter of the hut site. The SW portion of the interior is raised (H 0.6m) and the NE portion is cut (D 0.4m) into the upslope to create a level interior. There is another hut site (KE081-046002-) c. 10m to the NE.
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.
