The National Monuments Service's description
A short distance E of KE083-065001- is another complex of walls, the longest stretch of which extends for 70m. The walls average .75m high and protrude a maximum of .35m above the surface of the peat. To W are the ruined remains of a circular hut (KE083-067----), with an internal diameter of 4.35m. The N side of the hut is buried beneath the peat surface; elsewhere it reaches a height of only .15m.
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. 53. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
