It is easy to miss: the walls survive only to two courses of drystone masonry, rising barely 35 centimetres from the waterlogged ground. The interior measures roughly five metres north to south and four metres east to west, about the footprint of a large garden shed. One entrance survives on the southwest side, 90 centimetres wide, with a substantial limestone slab forming the northern jamb. Nothing remains inside to indicate what the space was used for.

The site was recorded as part of an upland archaeological study led by F. Coyne, published in 2006 under the title 'Islands in the Clouds', a survey of the mountain landscapes around Mount Brandon and the Paps in Kerry. Drystone huts of this kind, built without mortar by stacking and wedging field stones, are found across Irish uplands and are notoriously difficult to date without excavation. They may belong to seasonal farming activity, when people or animals moved to higher ground in summer months, a practice known in Ireland as booleying. The denuded condition of this example, with its walls reduced to near ground level, suggests long abandonment and gradual collapse, though the basic oval plan and the carefully placed entrance stone give it a legibility that survives the centuries. The waterlogged surroundings would have made the site uncomfortable in all but the driest seasons, which raises quiet questions about who used it and when.
