The National Monuments Service's description
One field S of KE097-019----. A hut (KE097-020----) defined by a circular setting of intermittent uprights with a slight external bank.
A roughly rectangular platform, 7.7m x 6.2m, immediately E of the hut, with an uneven and stony surface. This site is locally referred to as a calluragh burial ground (KE097-020001-). Lynch found a portion of a hand-quern in this sector (1902b, 339)
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. 1347. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
