It is easy to read it as a trick of the land, a natural irregularity in the slope. Look more carefully, though, and the geometry gives it away: someone, at some point, deliberately cut into this hill to make a level floor, and raised low earthen banks along two sides to define a space intended for habitation or shelter.

The site measures approximately 5.5 metres on its north-east to south-west axis and 6 metres north-west to south-east, making it a compact, roughly square enclosure. The earthen bank that defines the north-east and south-west sides is modest, around 4.1 metres wide, with an internal height of about 0.45 metres and an external height of just 0.25 metres. On the south-east side the bank has worn away almost entirely, leaving only a scarp, a low natural-looking edge where the built element has eroded over time. The north-west side required no bank at all because the hill itself was cut back there, the slope doing the work of a wall. A rock outcrop is still exposed on that north-west face. This kind of cut-and-bank construction is a recurring feature of early Irish hut sites, where builders would use the natural contours of sloping ground to reduce labour and gain some protection from prevailing weather. The interior has been poached by cattle over many years, meaning the ground surface has been churned and softened by repeated animal traffic, which obscures whatever finer details might once have been legible underfoot. The site was recorded by Denis Power and uploaded to the county's archaeological inventory in November 2013.

The site sits in working farmland, so access depends on the goodwill of the landowner and the practicalities of livestock management at any given time. The south-east-facing aspect means the slope catches reasonable light on clear days, which helps when trying to read the earthworks visually. The low banks are subtle enough that they reward a slow circuit of the perimeter rather than a single glance from a distance. The rock outcrop at the north-west end is one of the more tangible features to orient yourself by once you are standing in the interior.
