The structure is D-shaped, an arrangement fairly common among early Irish hut sites, where one straight wall closes off the flat side and a curved wall forms the rest of the outline. Here, that straight southern side runs 4.2 metres east to west, while the full north-south span reaches only 2.4 metres, giving a sense of just how compact the interior would have been.

The walls are drystone construction, meaning no mortar, just carefully selected and stacked stone, and they survive today as a low, partially grass-covered collapse, roughly 0.6 metres thick and 0.4 metres high at best, best preserved along the arc from the south-west to the north. What makes the site particularly legible is the deliberate cut into the upslope at the northern end, dropping some 0.4 metres into the hillside, a technique for levelling the floor on sloping ground that required real forethought. The hut does not sit in isolation either. It adjoins an enclosure to its south, and the whole group sits within a wider field system, suggesting this was once part of a working agricultural landscape rather than a single lonely shelter. The relationship between hut, enclosure, and field system points toward an organised, if modest, settlement pattern, though without excavation it is difficult to say more about when people lived here or for how long.
