The National Monuments Service's description
In an enclosure (KE108-049003-), adjacent to the inner face of the NW wall. The remains of a D-shaped hut site (2m N-S) defined by a curving drystone wall (T c. 0.6m; H 0.3m) and by a straight N side (L 1.8m E-W), formed by the vertical face of outcropping rock. The stone wall is crudely built and in a collapsed state. The lower course stones protrude above the blanket bog. Rubble from the collapsed upper course is scattered downslope 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.
