It is a slight thing, easily missed, and yet the precision of its construction is still legible: the wall was built up on the southern, downhill side and cut slightly into the slope on the northern side, a practical technique for levelling a circular floor on uneven ground. A gap runs from north to south-east, most likely the original entrance, and the wall itself, where it survives best between south-east and north, still stands roughly forty centimetres high and about half a metre thick.

The structure sits within the north-western sector of a larger enclosure, and it is not alone. A second hut site occupies the south-east quadrant of the same enclosure, suggesting that what survives here is a fragment of a small settlement rather than an isolated dwelling. Drystone construction of this kind, using carefully stacked unmortared stone, was common across early medieval Ireland, and enclosures containing multiple hut sites are a recognisable feature of the Kerry upland landscape. The bog has been both destroyer and preserver: it has collapsed and obscured much of the fabric, but it has also kept the lower stonework largely in place, readable to anyone willing to crouch and look.
