It is a clochán, a drystone hut of subcircular plan, a form of dry-laid stone construction built without mortar that was used across early medieval Ireland and well into later centuries. What remains here measures roughly 5.5 metres by 3.5 metres, with walls about 2.5 metres thick. A gap of 0.8 metres on the eastern side may be where the entrance once stood, though the whole structure has fallen in on itself enough to make certainty difficult.

Extending some 6.1 metres to the northeast is a further collapsed drystone wall, also about 2.5 metres wide, which once connected or enclosed something beyond the hut itself. Field clearance material abuts the site, which complicates reading the archaeology: over generations, farmers clearing their land of loose stone have left deposits nearby that blur the original boundaries. Whether the hut and its associated wall formed part of a small farmstead, a seasonal shelter for those working the upland pastures, or something else entirely is not recorded. The Iveragh peninsula has a dense concentration of such structures, and on the southern Kerry landscape they tend to appear where people needed to be present without needing to be permanent.
