On the south-eastern side of a narrow valley running north-east to south-west, beneath the bulk of Mount Gabriel to the north-west and a rocky ridge to the south-east, a D-shaped hut site survives in rough hill pasture, its curving stone wall barely rising above the surrounding bog. The straight south-eastern side of the structure is not built stone at all but the base of a natural rock outcrop, pressed into service as a ready-made wall. That detail, small as it is, says something about how pragmatically the people who built here worked with what the landscape offered rather than against it.

The remains are modest by any measure: the lower course of a curving stone wall roughly half a metre thick and barely thirty centimetres above the surface, enclosing a space only two metres across. A hut site of this kind typically represents the foundations of a simple dry-stone dwelling, the upper walls and any roof long since collapsed or robbed out for later building. The bog has crept up around it, partially preserving and partially obscuring what remains. What makes the setting quietly notable is the proximity of a second hut site just twenty-five metres to the north-west, suggesting this was not an isolated shelter but part of a small cluster of occupation, two structures placed close enough together that their inhabitants would have been very much in earshot of one another on the exposed hillside.
