Six metres across, its low bank, now softened by grass and moss, traces most of a ring, with the remainder marked by a scarp in the hillside. The whole thing is modest to the point of near-invisibility, yet it represents a deliberate act of construction, a dwelling placed with some care on an upland slope above a stream that drains into Cummeenadillure Lough.

The technique used here is one seen at hut sites across Ireland's uplands. The builders cut into the slope on the uphill side, dropping the floor roughly 0.3 metres below the natural ground surface on the north-east to south-south-east arc, then used the excavated material to build up the bank on the exposed western side to a height of about 0.6 metres externally. The result is a level interior, sheltered from the prevailing weather, with the hillside itself doing some of the structural work. The bank, where it survives, is about 0.85 metres wide and still stands around 0.3 metres above the interior floor. A second hut site lies immediately to the south, suggesting this was not a solitary occupation but part of a small cluster, the kind of paired or grouped settlement that sometimes reflects seasonal pastoral use of higher ground, though the date and precise function of these particular structures have not been established from the available information.
