It is a circular hut site, roughly 6.6 metres in diameter, its defining wall still standing around a metre thick and some 0.6 metres above the ground. That a structure so modest in scale has survived at all is partly down to the bog itself, which has a habit of preserving what it swallows, and partly to the particular stubbornness of dry-stone construction.

What makes this site quietly interesting is the care taken in its original layout. Whoever built the hut understood the problem of constructing on a slope: the interior floor was raised at the northern end by roughly 0.6 metres and cut into the hillside at the southern end to a depth of around 0.7 metres, effectively levelling the living space against the natural gradient of the mountain. It is a practical solution, and a common one in early vernacular building across Ireland, though seeing the physical evidence of it still readable in the ground gives the technique a kind of immediacy. Rubble from the wall has since spilled downslope to the north, suggesting gradual collapse rather than deliberate demolition, and the interior, now in pasture, retains that slightly elevated northern aspect.
