The remains measure just three metres north to south and 2.1 metres east to west, the stone wall that defines them now largely grass-covered and rising only twenty centimetres above the surrounding bog. That the structure survives at all is partly down to the bog itself, which has preserved the lower courses of the wall to a depth of thirty to fifty centimetres below the surface.

What makes the site quietly unusual is not any one feature but the density of occupation it hints at. A second hut site of similar character lies just one metre to the north, the two structures almost shoulder to shoulder on the hillside. Roughly twelve metres to the south-south-west, a third component survives in the form of an enclosure, a defined area of ground bounded by a wall or bank, which in this kind of upland context might have served to keep livestock, mark a boundary, or shelter a small patch of cultivation. Together the three elements suggest a small cluster of activity rather than a lone, isolated structure, though when people lived and worked here, and under what circumstances, the remains alone cannot say.
