In rough heather and gorse-covered grazing on the lower W-facing slopes of Slievanore with views NW over Lough Acoose and within a field system (KE072-006----). The remains of an oval hut site (5m E-W; 3.5m N-S) defined by the lower courses of a stone wall (T 0.8m; H 0.4m), protrude above the surface of the bog. The interior is covered in gorse. (O'Sullivan and Sheehan 1996, 24, no. 37) The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009).
