The one at the centre of this cluster is modest even by the standards of early Irish field archaeology: a circle just 2.8 metres in diameter, its lower courses of drystone walling still partially visible, rising only about 45 centimetres above the surrounding ground. Drystone construction, which uses no mortar and relies entirely on the careful stacking of stone, was the ordinary building method for countless small structures across early medieval and prehistoric Ireland, and what survives here represents the collapsed base of what would once have been a complete enclosing wall roughly half a metre thick.

What gives the site a quiet interest is the clustering. Two further hut sites adjoin this one, one to the north-west and another to the west, suggesting that whatever activity took place here was not the work of a single isolated occupant but part of something more collective, however small in scale. Whether these were used for seasonal grazing, as shelters for those working the land, or for some other purpose is not recorded, and the bog that has crept up around the lower stonework makes dating and interpretation difficult without excavation. Sites like these are scattered across the upland margins of Munster, places where communities or individuals once made temporary or semi-permanent use of land that later generations largely abandoned to the encroaching wet ground.
