The walls still stand to roughly a metre, the entrance gap on the western side remains 0.8 metres wide, and the original threshold slab is still in place underfoot. For a structure that has largely fallen in on itself, that combination of detail is surprisingly legible.

The hut is subrectangular in plan, meaning broadly rectangular but without strictly right-angled corners, and measures just 2.7 metres by 2.4 metres internally. Traces of corbelling are visible on the outer face of the walls; corbelling is a building technique in which each course of stone projects slightly inward over the one below, allowing a roof or vault to be formed without mortar or timber. It was widely used in early medieval Ireland for small stone structures, and its presence here suggests this hut belongs to that broader tradition, likely associated with the nearby caher. A caher is a stone-walled ringfort, and Cahersavane sits just uphill to the north-west, suggesting the hut may have functioned as an ancillary structure, perhaps for storage, shelter, or seasonal use, within the same small settlement complex. The relationship between the two is not recorded in detail, but the proximity and the shared building material make some connection probable.
