The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on a S-facing slope overlooking the valley of the Sheen River to the SW. The remains of a N-S drystone wall (T 0.7m; H 0.5m) which extend upslope to the N for c. 80m and then curve around to the NE for a further 80m. The relict wall protrudes from bog and disappears into it for short stretches. It forms the W wall of a hut site (KE093-057----), situated c. 60m from its S end.
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.
