It measures just under six metres across internally, which is roughly the footprint of a modest modern bedroom, and yet within that space a person or a family would have gone about the full business of daily life. What survives today is mostly a low bank of stone and earth, with portions of the outer wall face still readable to a height of about forty centimetres, and a loosely defined gap on the western side that marks where the entrance once was.

The site was recorded by Cuppage in 1986, who noted that the hut lies in the field to the north of a nearby enclosure, suggesting it formed part of a wider settlement cluster rather than standing in isolation. A small sub-rectangular yard abuts the northern side of the hut, which points to some degree of purposeful organisation around the structure, perhaps for penning animals or managing outdoor tasks close to the dwelling. Circular hut sites of this kind are a common feature of the early medieval Irish landscape, built from whatever stone and turf lay to hand, and typically associated with farming communities working marginal land during the period roughly between the fifth and twelfth centuries. The Dingle Peninsula has an unusually dense concentration of such remains, partly because the land was never intensively cleared or built over in later centuries, leaving these modest structures to quietly persist.
