A single tree now grows from its centre. The whole thing could be walked past without a second glance, yet the engineering buried in its construction is quietly telling: the ground inside has been raised on the downhill side and cut into the slope on the uphill side, so that whoever once occupied this tiny structure had a level floor beneath them.

The site is a hut site, the term used in Irish archaeology for the remains of a simple, usually circular dwelling or shelter, often associated with seasonal farming activity such as summer grazing on upland pastures. This one sits on a north-west-facing slope within a small clearance in the surrounding woodland, the kind of marginal ground that was once rough hill pasture. The surviving wall, around sixty centimetres thick and forty centimetres high, runs from north around to south-west, while the remainder of the circuit is marked only by a scatter of loose stones. The care taken to level the interior by cutting into the hillside to a depth of around forty centimetres at the south-east suggests this was not a casual or temporary arrangement. Someone put considered effort into making this small, remote space habitable, even comfortable in a minimal sense. No date is recorded for the structure, which is typical of hut sites generally; they are difficult to assign to any particular period without excavation, and many remain stubbornly anonymous in the landscape.
