The National Monuments Service's description
The interior of the site is very disturbed and is occupied by scrub and recently planted trees. A pair of possibly conjoined huts are located close to the trackway, on its E side. That at S (KE092-035003-) survives as a roughly circular area of stone collapse which features a central depression, 5m in diameter. It has an overall diameter of 7.5m.
The above description is derived from A. O'Sullivan and J. Sheehan (compilers), 'The Iveragh peninsula: an archaeological survey of South Kerry'. Cork University Press (1996), no. 583. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
