The National Monuments Service's description
Listed as Longford 2 (Costello 2016). A small rubble-walled hut (ext. dims. 1.9m x 1.5m; wall H 1m; Wth 0.3m) built into the very steep slope of a ravine, 10m S of Longford 1 (TS073-032----). It is sub-circular in shape internally and externally and its entrance (Wth 0.8m) looks down the valley. The roof appears to have collapsed.
