The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on a terrace on the gentle SE-facing slope of Tooth Mountain. The grass-covered remains of a rectangular hut site (1.8m N-S; 3.3m E-W) defined by a drystone wall (T c. 0.65m; H c. 0.65m at W). The stones in the lower course protrude above the blanket bog. Rubble from the collapsed upper courses is scattered along the perimeter, both internally and externally. Another hut site (KE111-015001-) adjoins this hut site along the W side and there is a third hut site (KE111-015003-) 18m to the S.
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.
