The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on a ridge, on the SE bank of the Drimminboy River. The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 7.4m) defined by a partly grass-covered, drystone wall (T c. 0.7m; H 0.1m at NW to 0.4m at SE) with a break NW-NE. The stones of the lower courses protrude above the deep (D 0.2m) boggy soil. There is a possible entrance at the break along the N arc. A cairn (KE111-017003-) is 15m 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.
