The structure is just four metres wide, and only the north-east wall, built from limestone blocks set on edge, survives with any confidence, along with portions of the south-east wall. There is what may be a doorway at the south-east corner, though even that is uncertain. It is, in short, almost nothing, and yet almost nothing is sometimes precisely what makes a place worth paying attention to.

The building sits to the west of a more recent house, and its date is genuinely unknown. The limestone bluff it occupies is characteristic of the Connemara and Aran fringe landscape, where thin soils give way to bare karst and older structures tend to survive in outline rather than in any meaningful height. The description recorded by Tim Robinson in 1980 is spare and careful, noting the surviving fabric without speculating on function or period. Whether the structure was a domestic building, an outbuilding, or something else entirely is not recorded, and the honesty of that uncertainty is part of what the site offers.
