On rough grazing land, on a broad terrace near the base of a S-facing slope with views over Tralee Bay, hut site (KE036-118----) 18m to NW. Site overgrown with briars and bracken but otherwise in good condition. Present remains consist of a clochan (dims. 2.4m N-S x 2.6m E-W; H 1.5m) set into the E side of a rectangular dry-stone enclosure (dims. 6m N-S x 5m E-W; Wth 0.6m; H 1m). The clochan has a lintelled entrance on its N side (Wth 0.6m X H 0.6m) which faces onto the entrance (Wth 0.5m) of the enclosure. A short distance (L 2.4m) out from the E and N sides of the enclosure is a low bank (H 0.5m) which would have functioned as both protection for the entrance and as a way of funnelling animals into the enclosure. A short distance (L. 5m) to the N is a length of bank (H c.0.7m) which would have both sheltered and hidden the structures from view when approaching from the coastal strip below.
