The National Monuments Service's description
In hill pasture, on a SE-facing slope, overlooking the valley of the Baurearagh River. The poorly preserved remains of a circular hut site (diam. 2.8m) defined by a drystone wall (T c. 0.6m; H 0.3m) which is cut (D 0.3m) into the upslope at NW and built up (H 0.3m) externally at SE. The lower course stones protrude above the bog. Some loose stones are scattered within the interior. Material from the collapsed upper courses is strewn along the downslope to the SE. A relict field wall (KE109-064004-) is immediately to the N of the hut site and two other hut sites (KE109-064002-, KE109-064005-) are 21m to the E and 40m to the NW, respectively.
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.
