What remains is a collapsed drystone wall, the kind built without mortar by laying stone upon stone, forming the outline of a structure roughly eight metres along its longer axis and just under seven metres across. Some larger stones survive in the lower courses; the rest has slumped inward and outward over time, leaving a scatter of rubble that is now as much a feature of the bog as the ground itself.

The site belongs to a wider pattern of early settlement activity in this stretch of the valley. Across the Kealincha River, roughly sixty metres to the south-east, there is a rath, an enclosed farmstead of the early medieval period typically defined by one or more earthen banks and ditches, and alongside it a network of pre-bog field boundaries. That last detail is significant: the fields predate the formation of the bog, meaning they were laid out and used when the ground here was drier and more workable than it is today. The bog has since crept over much of that earlier landscape, preserving the boundaries beneath it while obscuring the surface. The hut site on the northern bank may well be part of the same agricultural complex, a shelter or working structure connected to the fields and enclosure opposite, though the rushes and rubble make it difficult now to read with any confidence.
