The structure is barely a metre high and roughly two metres across, its outline now only semi-circular, though it was in all likelihood originally a complete round hut. The local name attached to the site is Tint Thaidhg, and it is the kind of place that rewards attention precisely because so little of it survives.

The archaeologist R. A. S. Macalister visited this area in 1899 and recorded not one but seven structures in the vicinity, ranging in shape from oval to circular to square, and in maximum dimension from about 1.2 to 2.4 metres. Even then, he noted that all of them were very ruined. The cluster he described suggests some kind of repeated or sustained use of this high ground, though what that use was remains unclear. By the time the Dingle Peninsula archaeological survey was carried out for the Corca Dhuibhne region, published by J. Cuppage in 1986, only one of Macalister's seven could be confirmed on the ground. The others had apparently dissolved further into the landscape, their stones perhaps absorbed into walls or scattered by weather and time. What remains is a fragment of a fragment, one small arc of coursed stone that once completed a circle.
