The flat area is modest, roughly 3.5 metres across, and whatever wall once enclosed it has largely disappeared. What remains is scattered stone debris and the faint geometry of a former enclosure, barely legible in the hillside.

The site sits about 360 metres south-east of two other hut sites in the same area, suggesting this was not an isolated dwelling but part of a loose pattern of upland settlement. Hut sites of this kind are simple enclosures, typically the remains of drystone or turf-walled shelters used by people living or working at altitude, and they survive in varying states across the Irish uplands. Here, the state is particularly sparse. The likely reason lies just to the south: a townland boundary wall runs below the hollow, and it is thought that stone from the hut was reused in its construction. The wall, in other words, may have consumed the very structure it now helps to date, at least approximately. When a boundary wall was more immediately useful than an abandoned shelter, the older building became a quarry.
