What makes it worth pausing over is not any grandeur but the opposite: the almost stubborn modesty of its construction. The hut measures roughly three metres by three metres internally, its walls surviving in places to just four courses of dry-laid stone, around half a metre high. That it survives at all, even in this denuded state, says something about the durability of drystone building, a technique requiring no mortar, only careful selection and placement of local stone.

The site was recorded as part of F. Coyne's 2006 upland archaeological study, 'Islands in the clouds: an upland archaeological study on Mount Brandon and the Paps, Co. Kerry', published by Kerry County Council in association with Aegis Archaeology. That survey focused on the higher ground around Mount Brandon and the Paps, landscapes that contain a surprising density of early and medieval remains. The Annagh More hut fits into a broader pattern of upland temporary shelters associated with seasonal activity, though no internal features were noted that might help pin down its use or date. A possible entrance on the southwest side is partially obscured by collapse, and a concentration of fallen stone along the southeastern side may indicate a second, possibly conjoined structure. Whether the two were built together or one was added later is not clear from what survives.
