It is easy to overlook: a low, partially grass-covered ring of collapsed drystone, measuring just 1.8 metres east to west and 1.4 metres north to south, the wall itself surviving to roughly 40 centimetres in height. What makes it quietly interesting is the care taken in its construction. The builder cut the interior 30 centimetres into the upslope on the northern side, effectively levelling the floor against the natural incline of the ground.

The hut sits within a wider complex of early features, adjoining an enclosure to the south and positioned within a field system, the kind of organised landholding arrangement that survives in fragmentary form across the Kerry uplands. Drystone construction, in which stones are laid without mortar and rely on careful fitting and gravity to hold their shape, was common across many centuries in Ireland, making precise dating of a structure like this difficult without excavation. The relationship between the hut and the enclosure wall, where the hut physically abuts it, suggests the two were used in close association, the hut perhaps serving as a shelter for a person working the land, or for animals. At under two metres across internally, it would have been a confined space by any measure.
