The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on a sheltered N-facing slope, in the valley of the Coomeelan stream. The remains of a rectangular hut site (4.1m E-W; 2.6m N-S) defined by a partially collapsed, drystone wall (T 0.55m; H 1.3m) which is best preserved at W. The smooth face of outcropping rock is incorporated into the N end of the E wall. A break in the E wall may indicate an entrance.
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.
