The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on a terrace on a N-facing slope. The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 5.3m) defined by a partially collapsed drystone wall (T 1.6m; H 1.3m). The wall is best preserved E-NW and is totally collapsed elsewhere. The level interior is partially obscured by rubble. There is an entrance (Wth 0.5m) at E. A field wall skirts the W arc. Another hut site (KE090-034----) is c. 6m to the E.
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.
