The circular hut site measures just 1.4 metres in diameter, its perimeter marked by a collapsed drystone wall, a form of construction that uses no mortar, relying instead on the careful fitting of stone against stone. The wall survives to roughly 0.7 metres in height at its best-preserved western arc, while the eastern side has largely given way. A gap opens at the south-east, and at the southern section a large rock has been incorporated directly into the fabric of the wall, making use of what the landscape already offered rather than working against it. Loose stones lie scattered on the slope downhill to the south-east, likely displaced from the structure over time.

What makes the site quietly significant is not its size but its context. It does not sit in isolation; another hut site of the same type lies just 25 metres to the north. Hut sites of this kind are generally understood to represent the remains of seasonal or temporary shelters, associated with practices such as transhumance, the movement of livestock to upland grazing during summer months, a pattern of land use that was widespread in early medieval and later Ireland. The Kerry uplands preserve a considerable number of such remains, many of them difficult to date with precision, their drystone construction leaving little for archaeologists to work with beyond the form of the walls themselves. In Cummeenduvasig, the pairing of two hut sites within such close proximity suggests at least a modest degree of organised activity on this hillside, people returning to the same ground, season after season, to the same ridge above the same river valley.
