The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on a SW-facing slope, to the S of a tributary of the Glantrasna River. The remains of a circular hut site (int. diam. 3.2m) defined by the grass-covered lower course of a drystone wall (T c. 0.5m; int. H 0.05-0.1m, ext. H 0.2m) with a break at NE. The stones protrude through the grass cover along the top of the wall and along the external face of the hut site. There is another hut site (KE109-037002-) 56m to the NE.
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.
