It is easy to walk past without pausing, easy to read it as a natural quirk of the ground. But the dimensions are too deliberate for that, and the stonework along the lower perimeter is too careful.

The hut site is roughly circular, measuring 5.8 metres north to south and 5.6 metres east to west. A bank of earth and stone, about 65 centimetres wide and 30 centimetres high, traces its outline. What makes the construction particularly legible is the way the builders managed the slope: on the uphill, western side, the interior has been cut into the hillside to a depth of around 10 centimetres, levelling the floor, while along the lower northeastern to southeastern arc, a revetment, a retaining face of set stones, raises the edge by about half a metre to compensate. The result is a level, sheltered interior carved partly into and partly above the natural gradient of the hill. Hut sites of this kind are found across upland Ireland and are generally associated with seasonal pastoral activity, though their dating can be difficult to pin down without excavation. A second hut site lies roughly 80 metres to the northeast, suggesting this was not an isolated dwelling but part of a small cluster of activity on the same terrace, perhaps used by people moving livestock onto the higher ground in summer months.
