The National Monuments Service's description

Internal Enclosure: SE of the huts (KE087-033003- and KE087-033006-) a D-shaped area, 8.1m long x 3.9m in maximum width, is enclosed by a low stony bank that features occasional uprights. The bank averages 1.5m wide and .3m high, and extends from the enclosing element at S to the E corner of the platform on which hut (KE087-033006-) is located.

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.
