The hut measures just 2.5 metres north to south and 1.8 metres east to west, making it a remarkably compact space, with walls still standing to around 0.6 metres in height and roughly half a metre thick. A second hut site lies just outside the same enclosure wall to the east, the two structures mirror images of a kind, one sheltering within and one pressed against the outside of the same boundary.

Drystone construction, which uses carefully fitted stones without mortar, was common across early medieval Ireland and into later centuries, particularly in areas where stone was plentiful and lime for mortar was not. The enclosure itself, a defined boundary of the sort used variously to mark settlement, agricultural, or ecclesiastical space, gives these hut remains their context. The entrance to the inner hut is at the north-east corner, a detail that can sometimes help archaeologists think about orientation, prevailing winds, and the daily patterns of whoever once occupied the space. Whether the two huts were in use simultaneously, or represent different phases of occupation at the same spot, is not recorded, but the pairing is quietly suggestive of a small community, or at least a household with more than one use for a sheltered corner of stone.
