The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on the E-facing slope of Knocknaveacal. The remains of a rectangular hut site (4.5m E-W; 2.35m N-S) defined by the lower courses of a clay-mortared, uncoursed rubble stone wall (T c. 0.7m; H 0.6m) at the N, S and E sides and by the vertical face of outcropping rock at W. A boulder abutting the outcropping rock forms the W end of the N wall. This boulder also forms the W side of an entrance (Wth 0.65m) in the N wall. The upper parts of the walls are mainly grass covered. Rubble from the collapsed upper courses is strewn along the perimeter.
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.
