The space it once enclosed measures only 2.55 metres north to south and 1.7 metres east to west, roughly the footprint of a large wardrobe. That compression is part of what makes it curious: whoever built and used this place was not seeking comfort in any generous sense, but shelter, or enclosure, or perhaps something harder to categorise.

The structure is built in two distinct ways, which is itself worth pausing over. The east and south sides are formed from collapsed drystone walling, a technique in which stones are stacked without mortar, relying on careful placement and friction to hold. The north and west sides, by contrast, use upright slabs set against the inner face of an earth and stone bank, the rock doing the work rather than the builder's patience. A narrow entrance, just half a metre wide, opens to the east. Outcropping bedrock presses against the south wall from outside, suggesting the builder worked around existing geology rather than clearing it away. The site does not stand in isolation: an enclosure of some kind lies immediately to the north, and a second hut site of similar character sits about thirty metres to the south, hinting at a small cluster of activity on this undulating rough hill pasture rather than a single anomalous structure.
