The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on the NW-facing slope of Knockowen Mountain. The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 2.3m) defined by a stone wall (T 0.65m; int. H 0.1-0.2m, ext. H 0.2-0.3m) N-NW and by a grass-covered bank (Wth 0.65m; H 0.2m) NW-N. The lower course of the wall protrudes above the blanket bog. In general the interior is 0.2m higher than external ground level. There is an upright slab (H 0.3m) in the N wall. There is a possible entrance at NW where the bank is low.
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.
