The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on the lower W-facing slopes of Knockastumpa. The remains of a rectangular hut site (2.85m NW-SE; 2.6m NE-SW) defined by a grass-covered bank (Wth 0.75m; H 0.7m) of earth and stone with a sloping external face. The bank is best preserved at NE. The NE portion of the interior is cut (D 0.7m) into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope. There is an entrance (Wth 0.45m) at SW. Traces of a relict wall associated with a network of field boundaries (KE109-014012-) is in the immediate vicinity to the NE and a further stretch occurs immediately to the S and W of the hut site. There is another hut site (KE109-014003-) c. 50m to the ENE.
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.
