The National Monuments Service's description
In rough heather-clad pasture, in a sheltered hollow, on the N-facing slopes of Knockeirka. The remains of an oval hut site (3.5m N-S; 2m E-W) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.6m). Outcropping rock is incorporated into the wall at NE. A break in wall at SW may indicate an entrance. The S portion of the interior is built up and the N portion is cut into the upslope to create a level interior. There is another hut site (KE102-006004-) c. 15m to the E.
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.
