The structure sits just four metres northeast of a ringfort, which is itself the more obvious feature of the two, and the pairing is part of what makes this corner of Kilmore quietly interesting. Ringforts, roughly circular enclosures formed by earthen banks or stone walls, were the dominant settlement form in early medieval Ireland, typically housing a farming family and their livestock. A hut site positioned this close to one suggests an outbuilding, a subsidiary dwelling, or perhaps a structure associated with the daily working life of whoever occupied the fort.

The hut itself is modest in scale. Its interior measures 6.5 metres east to west, enclosed by a bank between 2.5 and 3.5 metres wide. A two-metre gap on the southeastern side would have served as the entrance, a detail that aligns with common patterns in early Irish vernacular building, where doorways often faced away from prevailing winds. The site was documented by C. Toal in the North Kerry Archaeological Survey, published in 1995, which systematically recorded monuments across this part of the county and remains one of the more thorough regional surveys carried out under community employment schemes of that era. The cautious phrasing, "possible remains," reflects the difficulty of interpreting low earthworks that have been exposed to centuries of farming and weathering.
