The enclosure measures about seven metres across, with the wall still standing to roughly a metre in height, and a scatter of dumped stones inside suggests some disturbance at some point, though whether by later farming activity, deliberate clearance, or something else entirely is not recorded.

This kind of small circular dry stone structure is broadly classified as a hut site, a category that covers a wide range of prehistoric and early historic enclosures used for shelter, seasonal habitation, or pastoral activity. The form itself, a modest ring of unmortared field stone on open or marginal ground, appears repeatedly across the Irish landscape, particularly on hillsides and upland heath that were worked or grazed long before the present pattern of fields was established. Without excavation it is rarely possible to assign a precise date to any individual example, and this one is no exception. What the site does preserve is a physical outline that has survived because the surrounding heath offered little incentive to plough it under or rob the stone for later building.
