The structure measures just 4.2 metres by 2.65 metres, its walls surviving to a height of only 0.3 metres, which is barely enough to mark the outline of what was once an enclosed interior. That it survives at all is partly due to the bog itself, which has preserved the lower courses of the wall while slowly swallowing the surrounding landscape.

What makes this hut site quietly telling is the attention paid to the hillside it occupies. The southern portion of the interior floor was deliberately raised by around 0.3 metres, a practical measure to compensate for the natural slope of the ground, creating a level living surface from an awkward terrace. Drystone construction, which uses no mortar and relies instead on the careful interlocking of stones, was the standard method for small rural structures across Kerry for centuries, but the levelling detail here suggests a builder who thought carefully about comfort or function. The hut does not sit in isolation either; it lies within a network of relict field boundaries, the faint outlines of a former agricultural landscape that has since been reclaimed by rough hill pasture. Just below, the valley of the Feabunaun stream provided the kind of water access that would have made this slope worth settling or working in the first place. Together, the hut and the surrounding field traces suggest not a single isolated shelter but a fragment of a more organised land-use pattern, the details of which have largely dissolved back into the hillside.
