What survives is modest almost to the point of invisibility: a broken bank of earth and stone, no more than twenty centimetres high in places, tracing an oval roughly six metres from north to south and just over three metres from east to west. Stones break the surface here and there, and more lie concealed beneath the turf within the interior. Taken alone, it might pass for a natural feature of the rough pasture ridge on which it sits.

What makes the site quietly arresting is the company it keeps. Within a radius of ten metres, two further hut sites survive in a similar condition, one lying five metres to the west and another roughly ten metres to the north-north-west. A hut site, in this context, refers to the remains of a small, usually single-roomed structure defined by a low earthen or stone bank, of a type found across Ireland and associated with a broad range of periods from prehistoric through to early medieval. Three such structures clustered beside a harbour shoreline, on an east-west ridge with occasional outcropping rock, suggests something more purposeful than isolated habitation. Whether they represent seasonal occupation, a small farming settlement, or some activity connected to the sea cannot be determined from what remains above ground, and no dating evidence is recorded. The poorly preserved state of all three means the relationship between them is unclear, though their proximity is unlikely to be coincidental.

The site sits on rough pasture close to the seashore, in a landscape that has not obviously softened the evidence of whatever was once here. The bank is intermittent and low, so a visitor needs to look carefully rather than expect an obvious earthwork. The grass-covered stones within the interior and the occasional protrusion along the bank are the clearest indicators of what survives.
