What makes this place quietly peculiar is not any grandeur of scale but precisely its modesty: a roughly subrectangular stone structure, measuring just 4.5 metres northeast to southwest and 3 metres northwest to southeast, that may once have sheltered a person or served some purpose that archaeology has not yet settled.

Recorded by M. Gibbons, the structure is well defined on three of its four sides. The curving north wall, still standing around 0.25 metres high and nearly a metre wide, incorporates two large boulders in its external face, with a white quartz boulder visible on the interior side, quartz being a stone that appears with some regularity at prehistoric and early historic sites across Ireland, sometimes in contexts that suggest it carried deliberate significance. In the centres of both the east and west walls, stones set at right angles to the wall line appear to mark doorways, which would be an unusual arrangement, hinting perhaps at a structure oriented around movement or access rather than simple shelter. The south wall is less legible; it abuts outcropping rock and seems to have been partially robbed out, meaning its stones were likely taken for use elsewhere at some later date. Inside, the ground is level and faint traces of what may be a roughly laid flag floor are still visible. Around 25 metres to the southwest lies a cist, a small stone-lined burial box of a type associated with prehistoric interment, which raises the possibility that this terrace was a place of some activity over a long period, though whether the hut site and the cist are related in date or function remains an open question.
