The National Monuments Service's description
At the head of the Ballinskelligs river valley, on gentle SE facing pasture, one field S of a standing stone and boulder-burial (KE097-017001-). A field clearance cairn now occupies the location of this possible hut, removed sometime during the 1960s. Lynch recorded the site as a 'circle of stones', 36 feet (10.97m) in diameter. Eleven stones were set on edge and the largest of these measured 9 feet 9 inches (2.97m) x 2 feet (.61m) x 1 foot (.3m) thick. One stone was located in the interior at N (1902b, 338).
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. 1447. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
