The National Monuments Service's description
Abutting the internal face of the SE arc of an enclosure (KE101-066001-). The remains of a circular hut site (2.2m N-S; 2m E-W) enclosed by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.7m) which protrudes above the surface of the bog. The N portion of the interior is raised (H 0.1m) and the SW portion is cut (D 0.4m) into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. There is another hut site (KE101-066002-) immediately to the SW.
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.
