The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on a steep S-facing slope on the N side of the valley of the Roughty River. The remains of a rectangular hut site (5m N-S; 2.2m E-W) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 1.5m) which is best preserved along the N and S arcs. There is an entrance at E. The interior is overgrown and contains collapsed material. Loose stone is also visible outside the wall of the hut site. The area has recently been planted with trees.
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.
