The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture on an uneven rocky area on a N-facing slope, sheltered by rock to the S. The remains of a rectangular hut site (4.4m E-W; 2.6m N-S) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.7m; H 1.25m) on the S and N, by a rock scarp on the E side and on the W side by a shared wall with an adjoining hut site (KE101-006001-). Loose stones are scattered around the interior.
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.
