The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, to the E of a N-flowing stream, on a terrace on the N-facing slope of Knockowen Mountain. The remains of an oval hut site (int. 3.75m N-S; 2m E-W) defined by a grass-covered drystone wall (T c. 0.9m; H 0.35m). The entrance may have been at SE where a break in the wall occurs. The hut site is sheltered by outcropping rock, located a short distance to the S. There is another hut site (KE109-081003-) 7m 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.
