The National Monuments Service's description
In rough pasture, on a N-facing slope, on the E bank of the Drimminboy River and within a network of relict field boundaries (KE111-023----). The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 6m) defined by a partly grass-covered drystone wall (T 1.1m; H 0.55m at S) which is cut (D 0.2m) into the upslope at S. Stones of the lower courses protrude above the blanket bog. Upright stone slabs are set at irregular intervals along the wall SE-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.
