What makes this particular spot unusual is not any single building but the layering of different phases of occupation in one compact area: a polygonal hut, a circular hut, a souterrain, an annex, and the later footprint of a rectangular house, all arranged within a relatively small stretch of hillside.

The most substantial survivor is the polygonal hut, which measures eight metres by six internally, its drystone walls, built without mortar, now standing to an average height of just thirty-five centimetres, though they remain a generous metre and a half thick. A single upright stone marks what was once the entrance at the south-east, and a basal row of uprights still defines the inner wall-face to the north. Attached to the hut at the north-west are the sod-covered foundations of a small rectangular annex, roughly three and a half metres by two. Nearby, a bank of earth conceals the entrance to a souterrain, an underground stone-lined passage that was used in early medieval Ireland typically for storage or refuge. Its drystone lintelled entrance is visible in the western face of the bank, though the passage itself extends south-east and is no longer accessible. South of the polygonal hut, a circular structure has collapsed almost entirely into a low mound of stone, just over four metres across, its original form now more inferred than seen. Slightly removed from this early complex, and clearly belonging to a later period, the foundations of a rectangular house measure ten metres by nearly six internally, its interior filled with tumbled stone, including a quartz block among the debris.
