The National Monuments Service's description
This large circular hut, 6m in internal diameter, is built against the inner face of the site's enclosing element at W (see KE087-033001-). Slabs set on edge revet the base of its internal face at N, where the wall averages 1.8m wide and .5m high. An upright slab, .8m high and .65m wide, defines the N side of a .8m wide entrance at E.
The above description is derived from O'Sullivan, A. and Sheehan, J. (compilers) 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University press. (1996), no. 966. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
