The hut they once enclosed was modest in scale, roughly 2.9 metres east to west and 2.8 metres north to south, with walls that now survive to a height of only around 0.4 metres and a thickness of 0.6 metres. Rubble lies scattered both inside the circle and along its outer edge, the slow disorder of a structure that nobody has maintained for a very long time.

What makes the site quietly arresting is not its size but its company. Within a few metres, two further hut sites survive in the same rough pasture and bog. One lies approximately 2 metres to the east, another roughly 3 metres to the northwest, meaning that three of these small circular stone structures once occupied the same immediate patch of hillside. Hut sites of this kind are generally interpreted as the remains of simple shelters or seasonal dwellings, built from whatever stone lay nearby and intended for occupation rather than ceremony. The clustering at Lackavane suggests some form of shared or coordinated use of this ground, though the period of occupation and the precise nature of the activity here remain unresolved.
