The National Monuments Service's description
In Bonane Heritage Park, on a SW-facing slope, in the valley of the Sheen River. The remains of a rectangular hut site (4.9m N-S; 2.7m E-W) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.8m; H 1m) which is obscured by ferns and trees. There is a rath (KE102-031----) immediately to the E and a standing stone (KE102-031002-) c. 70m to the NNE.
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.
