The opening, set into the north-east side of the structure, measures just 0.4 metres across; whoever built this place was not designing for comfort or easy passage.

What remains is a D-shaped enclosure, measuring 2.8 metres along its north-west to south-east axis. Its curving wall, composed of earth and stone, still stands to around half a metre in height, with a thickness of roughly 0.3 metres. The straight edge that forms the flat side of the D is not an independent wall at all but is shared with a second, adjoining hut immediately to the south-east, the two structures leaning against one another on the open hillside. This kind of economy, building one wall to serve two purposes, is a common feature of early settlement clusters, where small groups of huts were constructed in close proximity, sometimes for seasonal use by pastoralists moving livestock to upland grazing. The Kerry landscape is scattered with such remains, though they sit quietly enough that they are easily passed without notice.
