What survives is modest by any measure: an earthen and stone bank, originally enclosing an oval space roughly 3.6 metres along its longer axis and 1.5 metres across, that has largely fallen inward on itself. The enclosing element, once perhaps a low wall or substantial earthwork, is now a jumbled spread of material inside the footprint it was meant to define.

The structure is small enough to have sheltered a single person or served a very specific purpose, though the notes do not speculate further on its original use or age. What gives the site a quiet additional weight is the presence of a standing stone approximately 40 metres to the south-west. Standing stones in Ireland are generally prehistoric in origin, raised during the Bronze Age or earlier, and their relationship to nearby enclosures or hut sites is not always straightforward. Whether these two features belonged to the same period of activity or simply accumulated in the same landscape over centuries is not recorded. The proximity is worth noting, though, and the hollow that contains the hut site, sheltered from the exposed ridgelines on either side, suggests the spot was chosen with some care.
