Over the decades it has been logged as an earthwork, then a barrow, and finally a hut site, each reclassification a small admission that the ground here does not give up its meaning easily.

The structure sits within a larger enclosure on the western edge of the terrace, where the land begins to drop away more sharply. About a hundred metres to the west lies Poulaloughan, a ravine that occasionally holds water, and roughly four hundred metres to the north-east, Coskeam Fort is visible on the landscape. The hut site itself is a roughly circular form, measuring around 6.3 metres by 6.1 metres internally, defined by a spread of moss- and grass-covered stone between 3.5 and 4.3 metres wide and only 0.1 to 0.5 metres high. At the southern side, a short section of horizontally coursed walling survives, built from thin flat flags, which gives the clearest indication that this was once a deliberate construction rather than a natural feature. At the centre sits a slightly raised platform about three metres across and 0.2 metres high, the kind of internal feature that in a hut site would have formed the floor or sleeping area within a small dwelling. The 1915 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map recorded the outline with hachures, the conventional cartographic shorthand for a mound or earthwork, suggesting the form was more legible then than it is today. The ambiguity in its various classifications reflects a genuine problem: a structure this eroded sits awkwardly between categories, too collapsed to be read with confidence, too patterned to be dismissed as rubble.
