The structure measures just 3.2 metres east to west and 2.4 metres north to south, its roughly built drystone courses, the kind of dry-laid stonework that uses no mortar, pressing up through the bog surface to a height of about 0.7 metres. That it survives at all is in some part due to the preserving qualities of the waterlogged ground around it. A narrow gap of 0.4 metres on the north-western side may mark where people once ducked inside.

What makes this small ruin a little more interesting than a simple collapsed wall is the arrangement of structures around it. Attached to the outside of the western wall is a small annexe, barely a metre wide and just over a metre long, its roof still intact, formed from flat stone slabs laid across the top. Whether this functioned as a storage space, an animal pen, or something else entirely is not recorded. To the south-east, the wall of a separate enclosure butts directly against the hut, suggesting the whole formed part of a small cluster of related features rather than a lone dwelling. A second hut site lies roughly 25 metres to the west-south-west, close enough to suggest these two structures were in use at the same time, by the same community, or at least in relation to one another. The interior of the main hut is obscured by rubble, so what lies beneath remains largely unexamined.

The site sits within a working or planted coniferous wood on boggy ground, which makes casual discovery unlikely. The bog itself has done much of the preservation work here, holding the lower courses of the wall in place while the upper portions collapsed inward. Visitors to this part of south-west Kerry who find themselves on the slopes of Beenduff should look for that slight protrusion of stacked stone above the peat surface, and the tell-tale slab roof of the annexe still holding its own against the weight of centuries.
