The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, at the foot of outcropping rock on a S-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Feabunaun stream and within a network of relict field boundaries (KE102-062007-). The remains of a D-shaped hut site (1.2m NW-SE) defined by a collapsed, curving drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.4m) and by a straight NW side (L 2.7m NE-SW) formed by the linear face of the outcropping rock. The surviving walls are roughly constructed and the base stones are embedded in peaty soil. There is an entrance (Wth 0.65m) at NE.
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.
