The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on a sheltered terrace, on a S-facing slope overlooking the valley of the Sheen River. The remains of a D-shaped hut site (3.5m E-W) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.5m; H 1.3m) with a straight E side (L 2.8m N-S). Outcropping rock forms part of the perimeter at SE. There is an entrance at NE. Loose stones occur in the interior and outside the wall of the hut site. Two other hut sites (KE093-057----, KE093-057003-) are c. 130m to the E and c. 30m to the S, respectively.
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.
