The hollow measures roughly 4.2 metres in diameter, modest enough to suggest a single-room dwelling, and it sits looking out over the broad flat plain through which the Milltown river makes its way southward towards Dingle Harbour. Easy to walk past, easy to dismiss as a dip in the field, it is the kind of feature that rewards a second look.

What gives the site an additional layer of quiet interest is the townland boundary wall that curves around the north-western half of the hollow. A boundary wall following the arc of a much older structure is not unusual in the Irish landscape, where later farmers often found it practical to incorporate earlier stonework rather than start from scratch. Here, the lower courses of the wall appear to differ noticeably from those above, being neater in their construction and built from smaller stones, suggesting that they may actually belong to the original hut itself. The wall, in other words, may be cannibalising the very thing it now partially obscures. This detail was recorded in J. Cuppage's 1986 archaeological survey of the Corca Dhuibhne region, a thorough catalogue of the Dingle Peninsula's remarkable concentration of early monuments.
