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 (5.25m NE-SW; 1.4m NW-SE) enclosed by a partially grass-covered, collapsed drystone wall (T 0.65m; H 0.8m) at NE, NW and SW, and by the vertical face of outcropping rock at SE. There is an entrance (Wth 0.65m) at the NW corner. Rubble is spilling downslope to the NW. There is a hut site (KE102-037002-) c. 6m to the SW and two other hut sites (KE102-037----, KE102-037001-) are c. 50m to the SE.
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.
