The hut is built in drystone, meaning no mortar binds its walls, just carefully chosen and stacked stone, and it survives to a height of 1.23 metres with an internal diameter of just under five metres. What makes it particularly curious is the number of ways in and out: three entrances survive, each one different in character, and two of them are now blocked externally, sealed off at some point after the structure fell out of use.

The eastern opening is lintelled, meaning a flat stone spans the top of the gap, but it is a remarkably tight passage, only 44 centimetres high and 54 centimetres wide. The entrance at the south-south-west is slightly more generous at 60 centimetres in both height and width, also lintelled, and also blocked from outside. The floor inside is paved with flagstones, a detail that suggests the hut was once a deliberate and practical space rather than a rough shelter. Just outside the south-south-west entrance lies a large mound of stones that may represent the collapsed remains of a second, adjacent hut. The details were recorded by J. Cuppage in the 1986 Corca Dhuibhne archaeological survey of the Dingle Peninsula, a landmark study of one of the most archaeologically layered landscapes in Ireland.
