The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on the S-facing slopes of Barrerneen and within a network of relict field boundaries (KE103-017003-). The remains of an oval hut site (3.2m N-S; 2m E-W) defined by a grass-covered drystone wall (T 0.5m; H 0.4m) which is best preserved SW-SE. A break at S may indicate an entrance. One of the relict field walls is c. 5m to the N. There is another hut site (KE103-017004-) c. 7m to the W.
