The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on a SW-facing slope overlooking the valley of the Sheen River. The remains of a roughly circular hut site (5.2m E-W; 4.9m N-S) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.5m). Parts of the wall SW-NE contain upright slabs set at right angles to the line of the wall. The entrance (Wth 0.6m) is at SE. The hut site is cut into the upslope at NE and built up at SW to form a level interior. There are relict field boundaries (KE093-055002-) c. 10m to the NW. There is an enclosure (KE093-055001-) c. 60m to the SE and another relict field boundary (KE093-055003-) is c. 70m to the ESE.
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.
