It is easy to overlook, its lower stonework protruding only slightly above the peat, partly greened over with grass. But the engineering logic behind it is quietly precise: whoever built this hut cut the northern side of its interior into the hillside to a depth of about eighty centimetres, and built up the southern side externally by roughly the same measure, so that the floor within would sit level. The result is a small, careful piece of work, shaped to the slope rather than fighting it.

The structure is a drystone hut site, circular in plan, with walls roughly sixty-five centimetres thick and surviving to between twenty centimetres and a metre in height depending on where you measure. Drystone construction, as the name suggests, uses no mortar; stones are laid so that their weight and fit alone hold them in place, a technique found across Ireland from prehistoric times through to relatively recent pastoral use. The hut sits within a broader landscape of relict field boundaries, the faint outlines of an agricultural system that once organised this hillside and has since retreated beneath the bog. The Glanmore valley below would have offered water, shelter, and access to lower ground, making this elevated spot a plausible seasonal or working station rather than a permanent home. No date has been established for the structure.
