The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on a NW-facing slope, overlooking the valley of Lough Inchiquin and adjoining the W side of a relict field boundary (KE101-072001-). The remains of a rectangular hut site (3.7m E-W; 1.8m N-S) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 1.1m). The entrance (Wth 0.5m) is in the NW corner. The E portion of the interior is cut (D 0.6m) into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. 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.
