Its walls, built in the drystone manner, without mortar, using only carefully stacked and weighted stone, have collapsed to a height of around 0.4 metres, yet they still protrude visibly above the surface of the surrounding peat. A narrow entrance, only half a metre wide, opens from the west end of the north wall. That modest doorway is one of the few details that fixes this as a deliberate, purposeful construction rather than a scatter of field clearance.

What makes the site quietly curious is not the structure alone but its company. A second hut site lies immediately to the north, suggesting this was not a solitary shelter but part of a small cluster of activity on the hillside. Structures like these, sometimes associated with seasonal grazing or transhumance, the old practice of moving livestock to upland pastures in summer, appear across Kerry and the wider Irish uplands, though their precise dates are often difficult to establish without excavation. Here, the bog has done the ambiguous work of both preserving and concealing, holding the walls in place while slowly drawing them downward.
