The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on the SW-facing slope of a ridge overlooking the valley of the Owbaun River, c. 50m to the SE. The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 1.4m) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.7m). The wall is poorly preserved along the E arc and best preserved at W. There is a break at SE. A large rock is incorporated into the wall at S. Loose stones are scattered on the downslope to the SE. Another hut site (KE084-003----) is 25m to the N.
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.
