What survives is a fragment, roughly 7.9 metres east to west and at least 4.8 metres north to south on the interior, enough to suggest a structure of some substance, but with most of the south-western to north-eastern perimeter now missing.

What makes the site particularly interesting is its relationship with the promontory fort that occupies the same ground. A promontory fort is an enclosure formed by cutting off a headland or coastal projection with one or more earthen or stone banks, using the natural cliff edges as the remaining defences. The hut site sits within this fort, meaning the two features are either contemporary or one was built with awareness of the other. Whether the hut preceded the fort, was built inside it deliberately, or simply shares the same prominent ground for reasons of shelter and visibility, is not something the surviving archaeology can yet settle. The low-lying, level terrain of the north-east point would have offered a practical enough platform, if not a commanding one, and the island's isolation would have shaped the lives of anyone who lived there in ways that are now difficult to reconstruct.
