The National Monuments Service's description
Within an enclosure (KE108-054----). The remains of a roughly constructed, rectangular hut site (2m N-S; 1.4m E-W) defined by the lower courses of a collapsed drystone wall (T c. 0.6m; H 0.75m). The S wall is adjacent to the internal face of the SE wall of the enclosure. The lower course stones are partly hidden by blanket bog. Rubble is scattered around the perimeter. The W portion of the interior is cut (D 0.3m) into the upslope and the E portion is built up (H 0.2m) externally at E. Another hut site (KE108-054003-) externally abuts the W wall of the hut site.
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.
