Today, the site is completely forested, and nothing of those three hut circles is visible above ground. They have been swallowed entirely, which gives the place an odd double quality: precisely located on an old field map of the Geological Survey of Ireland, yet practically unreachable in any meaningful sense.

The record of the site comes from Kinahan, writing between 1879 and 1888, who noted the circles at this location and fixed their position on a Geological Survey field map. Hut circles of this kind are the collapsed remains of prehistoric dry-stone dwellings, their round footprints reflecting a building tradition widespread across Atlantic Europe from the Bronze Age onward. The three on Connagh Hill were defined clearly enough by their tumbled walling for Kinahan to distinguish and describe them individually. What makes the location slightly more compelling is a stone bearing rock art recorded a short distance to the south. Prehistoric rock art in Ireland typically takes the form of carved abstract motifs, cup marks and cup-and-ring designs pecked into exposed stone surfaces, and the proximity of such a stone to the hut circles suggests this part of the hillside was a meaningful place over a long stretch of time, though the exact relationship between the structures and the carving is not known.
