The National Monuments Service's description
About 25m to SE, on a grassy shelf, are the remnants of a circular drystone hut, 4.2m in internal diameter. Two sections of faced walling, one course high, survive, and are retained by upright slabs internally. The wall averages .25m high and .75m wide. The interior of the hut (KE083-087002-) is filled with stone and rubble.
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. 31. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
