On a south-facing slope in the rough heather pasture west of The Paps of Dana, the distinctive twin-peaked hills in County Kerry associated in mythology with the goddess Danu, they cut into the hillside at the upper end and raised the floor at the lower end to produce a level interior, all within a space measuring roughly 3.2 metres by 2.4 metres. The technique is practical and precise: drystone construction, meaning walls built from dry-laid stone without mortar, relies entirely on the careful fitting of each course, and here the external face of upright contiguous stones remains visible along the south-east to west arc of the wall, even as the rest has collapsed under centuries of heather growth.

The hut does not sit in isolation. A second hut site lies only about five metres to the east-north-east, an enclosure sits roughly forty metres to the north, and the trace of a relict field wall survives some 170 metres further on to the north-north-east. Taken together, these features suggest a small agricultural or pastoral settlement, the kind of temporary or seasonal occupation common across Irish uplands, where people and animals moved to higher ground in summer months, a practice known as booleying. No date has been firmly assigned to this particular cluster, but the combination of hut sites, an enclosure, and field boundaries is characteristic of a self-contained working landscape rather than an isolated shelter.
