The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on a terrace near the bank of Owbaun River, on the SW-facing slope of Mangerton Mountain. The remains of a circular hut site (3.2m N-S; 2.7m E-W) defined by a partially collapsed drystone wall (T 1.4m; H 0.8m). Large boulders are incorporated into the wall along the SE and SSW arcs. There is an entrance (Wth 0.7m) at NE. A relict wall from a network of field boundaries (KE084-043004-) is immediately to the SW. Two conjoined hut sites (KE084-043001-, KE084-043005-) are 17m to the N. There is another hut site (KE084-043003-) 26m to the S.
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.
