The National Monuments Service's description
On a fairly steep E-facing slope of Knocknagearagh hill in the Knockmealdown mountain range, in upland terrain with a river valley at the base of the slope. This is part of a complex of enclosures (TS091-009001-; TS091-009007-; TS091-009008-; TS091-009009-; TS091-009012-), hut sites (TS091-009003-; TS091-009004-; TS091-009006-; TS091-009010-; TS091-009011-; TS091-009015-), a possible ring-cairn (TS091-009002-), clearance cairns (TS091-009005-) identified by Diarmuid O'Keeffe, 1996. A possible hut site (int. dims. 3 x 3.5m) is attached to the wall of an enclosure (TS091-009012-) which defines the NW sector and otherwise is defined by a rubble wall (Wth 1.1m; H 0.6m). There is a cairn (TS091-009014----) roughly centrally placed within the enclosure.
