What is recorded here
In pasture, at the base of a steep W-facing slope overlooking Kenmare Bay. The remains of a circular hut site (diam. 3.6m) defined by a grass-covered bank (Wth c. 0.6m; H 1.1m) of earth and stone. The E side of the hut site is cut into the hillslope and a number of upright slabs (H 1.1m) are used to retain the scarp. A sight break at WNW may indicate the entrance location.
