It measures roughly six metres north to south and five east to west, defined by a ditch no more than twenty centimetres deep and about a metre wide. Easy to overlook, easier still to dismiss as a natural feature of the boggy ground, it is in fact the trace of a hut, one of three such sites clustered in the same low-lying area.

Hut sites of this kind are among the more modest survivals in the Irish archaeological record. The defining ditch would originally have marked the boundary of a small structure, possibly supporting a wall of timber, wattle, or turf, though nothing above ground now survives to indicate what once stood inside. The setting is quietly suggestive: a barely perceptible rise in otherwise flat, saturated ground beside an estuary, the kind of marginal, liminal location that was nonetheless repeatedly chosen for settlement throughout prehistory and the early medieval period in Ireland. The presence of three hut sites in proximity hints at a small community or a site used across several phases, though without excavation the chronology remains open.
