That, it seems, was rather the point. A low drystone wall, still standing to about 0.7 metres, curves from north-north-west around to the east-south-east, enclosing a rectangular space roughly 2.2 metres by 1.3 metres. A large natural boulder completes the southern and western sides, and beneath it, on the western face, there is a low opening just 0.65 metres high. The result is something between a built shelter and a found one, human effort combined with whatever the landscape already offered.

Drystone construction, which uses no mortar and relies entirely on the careful stacking and wedging of stones, is found across Ireland in everything from field walls to corbelled huts. Here the technique is minimal and practical. The structure's purpose is recorded as possible shelter or storage, a deliberately open reading that reflects how ambiguous small vernacular structures like this can be. It may have kept a person out of the wind and rain on the hill, or housed tools, or protected young animals. The abundance of natural rock in the immediate area means the whole thing sits inconspicuously against the hillside, its built wall barely distinguishable from the surrounding outcrop unless you are looking carefully.
