The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on the lower NW-facing slopes of Derryclancy Mountain. The remains of a rectangular hut site (4.3m NW-SE; 2.6m NE-SW) defined by the lower courses of a drystone wall (T c. 0.65m; H 0.8-1.35m). Rubble from the collapsed upper courses is scattered along the perimeter. The NE portion of the interior is built up (H 0.2m) and the SE portion is cut (D 0.2m) into the upslope, creating a level interior. There is an entrance (Wth 0.6m) at N. There is an enclosure (KE111-008001-) 28m to the W.
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.
