Internal diam. 22.7m N-S, 21m E-W
This site, not marked on the OS maps, is located on the summit of a low rise in rough pasture on the E side of the Small river valley, overlooking the estuary of the Sneem river. Its enclosing wall is now reduced to a sod-covered stone bank which is flush with the level of the interior of the site. It survives to a maximum external height of .95m at N, where it is faced with rough drystone masonry and is intermittently revetted by slabs set on edge. The sides of a well-defined entrance gap at E, 2.65m wide, are faced with upright slabs. The interior of the site is bisected by a modern fence. Towards its centre is a semicircular arc of walling, probably the remains of a hut (KE091-025001-), which measures 3.8m in internal diameter and survives as a neatly coursed wall of drystone masonry, .6m wide and .15m high.
