At the centre of the group was a subrectangular hut, a modest shelter measuring just 2.1 metres east to west and 1.8 metres north to south internally, its walls built from rough stone but finished with more regular facing inside. Around it were the traces of two possible hut platforms, low circular levelled areas edged with boulders where other structures may once have stood, along with a natural rock cleft roughly lined with stones. Within ten metres of the huts lay three small clearance cairns, which are low mounds formed when farmers gathered the loose stones from cultivated or grazed ground and heaped them to one side, a practice that has been repeated across Irish uplands for millennia.

The site was recorded and visited in 1990, at which point the slope remained open and the features were visible on the surface. Sometime after that, the land was planted with commercial forestry. When archaeologists returned in 2012, the entire complex, the hut, the platforms, the rock cleft, and the clearance cairns, had disappeared from view. The assessment at that time was that the monuments were no longer visible above ground and were likely at least partially destroyed by the forestry planting, a process that involves deep ploughing and drainage works capable of disturbing shallow subsurface remains. What had survived centuries of exposure on a windswept Wicklow hillside did not survive the machinery.

There is nothing to see at Carrignamuck today. The forestry that obscures and has probably damaged the site is itself unremarkable. The interest lies in what the archaeology suggested before it was lost: a small settlement, probably seasonal or marginal, worked by people moving stones from the ground and piling them nearby, their efforts now buried under a plantation that few would think to look twice at.
