The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on the S-facing slopes of Beenduff. The remains of an oval hut site (2.8m N-S; 2.3m E-W) defined by the roughly constructed lower courses of a partially collapsed, drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.9m). There is an entrance (Wth 0.7m) at E. The level interior is raised (H 0.4m) at S and cut (D 0.6m) into the upslope at N. The remains of an annexe (2m E-W; 0.9m N-S; H 0.6m) which is roofed with stone slabs on the W side, abuts the hut site at 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.
