It measures roughly four metres east to west and just under three metres north to south, its perimeter marked by a low bank of sod-covered stones, nowhere much higher than half a metre. That modest profile is part of what makes it easy to overlook, and part of what makes it quietly compelling.

The structure sits inside a rath, the Irish term for a roughly circular earthen enclosure, typically dating from the early medieval period and most often associated with a farmstead and its immediate household. Raths are common across Ireland, but what survives inside them is far rarer. Here, the possible hut site presses up against the inner face of the rath bank to the north, a position that would have offered some shelter and made use of the existing earthwork as a ready-made wall. The bank defining the hut is about 1.7 metres wide, which is substantial for what remains, suggesting it was built to last rather than thrown up in haste. Whether it represents a dwelling, a storage space, or some other domestic structure, the rectangular plan and deliberate construction point to purposeful, everyday use within a settled enclosure.
