The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on a SW-facing slope, to the E of a tributary of the Glantrasna River. The remains of a rectangular hut site (3.8m E-W; 1.9m N-S) defined by the lower courses of a crudely built wall (T c. 0.65m; H 0.65m) consisting of stone and earth. An upright slab (H 0.65m) forms the inner face of the wall at W. There is an entrance (Wth 0.5m) in the N wall. Rubble from the collapsed upper courses lies along the perimeter. There is moss and grass cover on the rubble and along the wall. Three hut sites (KE109-037001-, KE109-037004-, KE109-037005-) are situated 34m to the W, 56m to the SW and 10m to the E, respectively. There is another hut site (KE109-037003-) immediately to the S.
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.
