The National Monuments Service's description
Hut (KE098-088002-): Centrally located in the interior of the enclosure arc the low foundations of a subcircular hut which measure 6m N-S x 5.6m E-W internally. The wall averages 2.1m thick and features external drystone facing. The entrance, .6m wide, is located at NE and is defined by two parallel rows of upright slabs. The interior of the hut is filled with stones and it apparently contained an opening to a now blocked souterrain (local information).
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. 925. In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
