What remains is a D-shaped hut site, a form of dry-stone enclosure associated with early habitation or seasonal use of upland grazing ground. The structure measures just 1.6 metres east to west, which gives some sense of how modest and functional it would always have been. Part of the curving wall still has stones standing upright; others lean at angles or lie flat, collapsed over time under the pressure of weather and the slow movement of the hillside beneath them.

The structure is defined by a curved drystone wall, built without mortar from flat slab-like stones, meeting a straight eastern side of roughly the same length. A possible entrance opens at the north-east. What makes the site particularly legible as a piece of landscape history is that the straight eastern wall has been absorbed into a relict field boundary, meaning the line of that old enclosure was later reused or simply never cleared away when the surrounding land use changed. Relict field boundaries are traces of agricultural systems that have long since fallen out of use, and finding a probable hut site tucked into one suggests a layered occupation of this ground, different people making practical use of the same stones and the same slope across an uncertain span of time.
