In pasture, on the W bank of a river, on a SE-facing slope overlooking the headwaters of Kenmare Bay. The remains of a circular hut site (3m N-S; 2.6m E-W) defined by a collapsed drystone wall (T 0.8m; H 1.4m) which is best preserved at N. The wall along the E arc, which is adjacent to the river bank, is obscured by dense overgrowth. Field-clearance stones have been piled up externally against the wall along the N and S arcs. There is an entrance at W. The N portion of the interior is cut into the upslope to compensate for the hillslope.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Kerry. Volume I: South-West Kerry' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2009). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
