What remains is a peat-covered stony bank, roughly a metre high and about 7.4 metres across, the outline of a hut foundation that once sheltered someone in this exposed, rain-soaked pasture. Hut sites of this kind are the most basic unit of the early Irish landscape, simple drystone or earthen enclosures whose occupants and dates are rarely recoverable with any precision. This one sits in wet rough ground, and the peat that has crept over its stones is, in its way, a preservative as much as a concealment.

What makes the site quietly puzzling are two features that do not have obvious explanations. Inside the hut, someone arranged a roughly rectangular setting of stones placed on their edges, the function of which remains unknown. It is not a hearth in any conventional sense, not clearly a sleeping platform or a drain, simply a deliberate geometric gesture in stone whose purpose has not survived alongside the structure itself. Then, directly outside what appears to have been the entrance gap on the south-east side, there is a raised area measuring roughly 5 by 3.8 metres and standing about a metre in height, topped by a low upright slab. Whether this is a platform, a mound associated with the hut's use, or something earlier that the hut was built in relation to, the site gives no clear answer. The upright slab, small as it apparently is, carries a faint monumental quality that sits oddly against the otherwise functional plainness of the structure.
