The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on a NW-facing slope, to the S of a tributary of the Glantrasna River. The remains of a roughly built, rectangular hut site (2.5m NW-SE; 2.1m SW-NE) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T c. 0.65m; H 0.7m) at NE, SW and NW and by two boulders which form the majority of the SW wall. Large stones are visible in the lower course of the drystone wall. Rubble from the collapsed upper courses is strewn along the perimeter and partly obscures the interior. There is a hut site (KE109-077001-) c. 30m to the NE and there is another hut site (KE109-077002-) located c. 20m to the NW.
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.
