It is gone now, cleared away at some point during the 1960s when the land was tidied up, and in its place sits an unremarkable field clearance cairn, the kind of heaped rubble that farmers accumulate when they drag loose stones from pasture. The original structure was recorded by a researcher named Lynch in 1902, who described a circle eleven stones set on edge, nearly eleven metres across, with the largest stone measuring close to three metres in length. One additional stone lay inside the circle, positioned towards the north. Whether this was a hut site in the proper sense, a place where people actually lived and sheltered, remains uncertain; the classification carries a question mark that the physical evidence can no longer resolve.

The location is part of a broader archaeological landscape on the Iveragh Peninsula, a stretch of south Kerry that accumulated prehistoric activity over millennia. Na Leadhba Liatha sits one field south of a standing stone and a boulder-burial, a type of monument in which a large capstone rests directly on the ground or on low supporting stones, without the raised chamber of a dolmen. That proximity is probably not coincidental. Clusters of different monument types, a possible dwelling site alongside a burial feature and a standing stone, suggest the same stretch of ground held significance across generations, though the exact nature of that significance is well beyond recovery. Lynch's 1902 measurements give a reasonable sense of the scale: a circle nearly thirty-six feet in diameter, with substantial upright stones, implies something more deliberate than a casual enclosure.
