The structure is modest by any measure, roughly 2.4 by 2 metres across and standing about 2 metres high, yet its form is deliberate and its placement considered. A D-shaped hut foundation of this kind is a type found elsewhere along the Corca Dhuibhne peninsula, where generations of people built shelters using whatever natural boundaries, walls, and outcrops lay to hand. The straight edge of the D is provided by the field wall itself, which served as a ready-made wall and reduced the labour of construction considerably.

What makes the site quietly interesting is not the structure in isolation but what sits nearby. About 15 metres to the south-east, the outline of a second, slightly larger structure is still visible on the ground, measuring approximately 2 by 4 metres. Together they suggest at least a small cluster of activity in this corner of the landscape, though whether they were used simultaneously or represent different periods of occupation is not recorded. The site was documented by J. Cuppage as part of the Dingle Peninsula Archaeological Survey, published in 1986 under the Irish-language title that reflects the Gaelic cultural heritage of the region, Oidhreacht Chorca Dhuibhne. That survey brought systematic attention to the extraordinary density of early remains along this stretch of the Kerry coast, where the combination of a relatively dry Atlantic climate and thin pastoral land use has left many structures in a legible, if worn, condition.
