The National Monuments Service's description
In heather-clad, rough hill pasture, on a W-facing slope, overlooking a river valley. The remains of an irregular-shaped hut site (2.7m N-S; 2m E-W) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.6m; H 0.5m) at W, N, and along the N half of the E wall, by a boulder at the S half of the E wall and by a larger boulder at S. There is an entrance (Wth 0.5m) at SE between the two boulders. The interior is obscured by rubble. This hut site is situated along a curvilinear stretch of a wall from a network of relict field boundaries (KE103-040001-), c. 90m W of its E terminal. There is another hut site (KE103-040003-) c. 35m to the S.
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.
