It is easy to miss: the stone wall that once defined it has long since sunk beneath turf, leaving only a subtle ridge roughly seven metres north to south and five metres east to west, modest even by the standards of early rural shelter.

The site was noted by archaeologist Ros Ó Maoldúin and can be made out on aerial imagery captured between 2013 and 2018. Hut sites of this kind, essentially the collapsed or overgrown footprints of small stone-walled shelters, are scattered across the Irish uplands, where they speak to patterns of seasonal grazing, agricultural clearance, or simply the long-term occupation of marginal land. At its western edge, the oval abuts a field boundary considered to be of contemporary date, suggesting the hut and that boundary were part of the same working landscape, built and used within the same period, however that period is eventually pinned down.
