The hut measures roughly 3.1 metres north to south and 3.65 metres east to west, its wall surviving to around 0.6 metres in height and 0.7 metres thick. Those are modest dimensions, the interior space barely large enough for a few people to shelter, and the creeping peat has further obscured whatever remains inside.

What makes the site quietly interesting is that it does not sit in isolation. The hut presses against the southern face of a relict field boundary, a remnant of an older agricultural landscape whose boundaries have long since gone out of use, suggesting that whoever built or used the hut was working within, or around, an already-established arrangement of land. A second hut adjoins this one directly to the east, and two further hut sites lie approximately 35 metres to the north-east. Taken together, the cluster points to a small community of activity on this hillside, though when that activity took place and for how long remains unresolved. Drystone hut sites of this kind appear throughout Kerry's uplands and can date from any period across several millennia, used variously for seasonal farming, shelter during transhumance, or more permanent habitation during periods when marginal land was being worked more intensively.
