The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on the NW-facing rocky slopes of Deelis Mountain. The remains of a rectangular hut site (2m E-W; 1.6m N-S) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.65m) at E, S and W, and by the vertical face of outcropping rock at N. A well-defined entrance (Wth 0.9m) is situated at the S end of the E wall. There is a hut site (KE102-037001-) c. 8m to the E and two other hut sites (KE102-037002-, KE102-037003-) are c. 50m to the NW.
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.
