Barely forty centimetres deep and roughly three metres across, it is defined by sandstone boulders and a low mix of small stones and turf, with a bank still visible in the north-east and south-west quadrants. On its own it might pass entirely unnoticed, but it is one piece of a much larger puzzle pressed into the hillside.

In 1996, Diarmuid O'Keeffe identified this hut site as part of a substantial upland complex in the townland of Middlequarter. A hut site, in this context, refers to the surviving ground-level trace of a past dwelling, typically a shallow scoop or stone setting that once supported a roof structure of timber or thatch. The Middlequarter complex extends well beyond this single feature to include multiple enclosures, further hut sites, clearance cairns, a possible ring-cairn, and a field system. Clearance cairns are the piled heaps of stone that earlier farmers removed from ground they intended to cultivate, and their presence here, alongside the field system and domestic structures, suggests a community that farmed and lived on this upland slope with some persistence. A second possible hut site lies just twelve metres to the south-south-east. The ring-cairn, if that is what it is, adds a further layer of ambiguity; such monuments are generally associated with funerary or ritual use, which would place the living and the ceremonial in close proximity on the same ridge.
