The structure is modest, measuring roughly 3.2 metres north to south and 2.2 metres east to west, its walls now reduced to the lower courses of drystone construction, a technique using stones laid without mortar that relies on careful placement and the weight of the material itself to hold firm. Those walls, now only around 0.4 metres high and 0.6 metres thick, are in a jumbled state, with rubble scattered across the interior and around the outer edges, and gorse and heather have crept in to obscure much of what remains.

What makes the site quietly interesting is not the hut in isolation but its pairing with a second structure. Another hut site adjoins it directly to the west, suggesting that whoever used this hillside did not do so alone or in passing. The choice of location, a hollow just north of the summit, would have offered some protection from the prevailing weather while keeping the high ground close. Hut sites of this kind are found across upland Cork and are often difficult to date with precision; they may relate to seasonal agricultural activity, transhumance, or earlier permanent settlement, though the archaeological record here does not yet point firmly in any one direction.
