The National Monuments Service's description
On rough hill grazing, on the lower S-facing slopes of Coomacarrea, overlooking the valley of the Owroe River. The remains of an oval hut site (2.8m NW-SE; 2m NE-SW) defined by the jumbled lower courses of a stone wall (T 0.8m; H 0.5m). Rushes grow in the interior and rubble is scattered around the external perimeter.
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.
