It is a hut site, the collapsed remains of a single circular stone-walled dwelling roughly 3.4 metres in diameter, which is barely larger than a modern garden shed. The wall, originally around 0.9 metres thick and now standing only about 0.4 metres high, has fallen inward over time, burying whatever interior features may once have existed. What remains visible are the base stones, protruding from a shallow covering of bog, tracing the outline of a life once lived at this elevation.

The site sits within a network of relict field boundaries, the ghostly remnants of an agricultural landscape that was once actively managed and subdivided. That surrounding pattern of boundaries suggests this was not an isolated structure but part of a small farming world, a place where someone kept animals, worked the land, and sheltered from Atlantic weather on the hillside above. Hut sites of this kind are generally associated with seasonal or permanent occupation in the early medieval period, though without excavation the precise date of this example remains unconfirmed. The rough, undulating hill pasture around it has long since returned to rushes and wet ground, reclaiming whatever clarity the original settlement once had.
