Easy to dismiss as a natural scatter of stones, it is in fact the remnant of a D-shaped hut site, a structure just three metres across at its widest, whose builders once levelled an uneven hillside by cutting into the upslope on the west side and allowing the eastern floor to sit slightly raised, the two adjustments together creating something close to a flat living surface. That kind of deliberate, practical shaping of the ground is a telling detail: it speaks to people who intended to stay, at least for a season, and who understood the slope they were working with.

The hut sits directly against the outer face of a larger enclosure, tucking into the south-eastern arc of its wall rather than standing apart from it. This relationship between small hut and enclosing boundary is a recurring feature of early rural settlement in Ireland, where a circular or sub-circular stone wall, known as a cashel or enclosure, would anchor a cluster of domestic or agricultural structures around it. The hut wall itself, now collapsed to around half a metre thick and just thirty centimetres above the bog surface, is defined by a straight north-west side roughly two metres long, with a single large boulder abutting the external face at the south-east. A second hut site lies immediately to the south-west, suggesting this was never a solitary dwelling but part of a small, organised grouping on the hillside. The bog that has since crept up around the walls has, in its way, preserved what a drier landscape might have long since robbed out.
