It is the kind of survival that catches the eye only if you know what to look for: a low, roughly circular structure of drystone construction, meaning built without mortar by careful stacking of stone, measuring just under five metres across and standing a little over a metre high. What makes it stranger still is that it has three entrances, two of them now blocked from outside, one so small at just 44 centimetres high that entry would have required crawling. The floor inside is paved with flagstones, which gives the whole thing a deliberate, finished quality that resists any easy dismissal as a simple animal shelter or field clearance heap.

The structure was documented as part of J. Cuppage's 1986 archaeological survey of the Corca Dhuibhne region, a thorough catalogue of the Dingle Peninsula's extraordinarily dense prehistoric and early medieval remains. The two blocked openings are lintelled, meaning each is spanned by a single horizontal stone, a simple but durable technique found across early Irish building traditions. At the south-south-west, a low lintelled passage measuring 60 centimetres in both height and width leads outward, and beyond it sits a large spread of loose stones that may represent the collapsed remains of a second associated hut. The relationship between the two structures, if that is indeed what the stone mound represents, is not fully resolved, and the question of when the hut was built or how long it was in use remains open.
