The National Monuments Service's description
In rough rush-covered hill grazing on bog on an E-W ridge overlooking the valley of the Inny River. A circular hut site (3.7m E-W; 3.6m N-S) defined by the jumbled remains of a collapsed stone wall (T 1m; H 0.6m). The wall displays traces of an inner and outer row of contiguous slabs with an infill of stones of various sizes. Rubble is scattered in the interior and along the perimeter of the hut site. A break (Wth 0.4m) at N may indicate an entrance. An enclosure (KE081-052----) adjoins the hut site at SW.
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.
