The National Monuments Service's description
In rough hill pasture, on an E-facing slope overlooking Loughanunaghan Lake. The remains of an oval hut site (3.3m NW-SE; 2.1m NE-SW) defined by a crudely built, collapsed drystone wall (T c. 0.6m; H 0.8m at E) which is cut (D 0.8m) into the upslope at N. Large stones of the lower courses protrude above the bog and outcropping rock is incorporated into the wall at N. Rubble from the collapsed upper courses is scattered along the perimeter. There is a standing stone pair (KE111-019001-) c. 2m to the NE and a megalithic structure (KE111-019003-) c. 5m to the E.
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.
