Excavated in 1942 by archaeologist Davies, who designated it ‘hut g’, this roughly rectangular dwelling was partly carved into the bedrock itself. The structure measured approximately 3.1 by 4.05 metres and featured stone walls that once stood 0.6 metres high, with parts of the interior faced with upright slabs. A paved entrance passage extended southward for nearly 4 metres, flanked by low stone jambs that guided visitors into the chamber.

The excavation revealed fascinating glimpses into the daily lives of its ancient inhabitants. Amongst the brown soil filling the interior, Davies uncovered decorated sherds of hard, coarse black pottery, a flint scraper, an iron nail, and charcoal fragments. Food remains painted a picture of their diet; wheat and barley grains, hazelnut shells, and burnt bone fragments were scattered throughout. Even more intriguing was the charcoal-rich yellow-brown soil layer discovered beneath the enclosing bank, containing burnt bone and grains of barley and rye, suggesting the site had been occupied well before the stone hut was constructed.

Though the hut was still clearly visible in the early 1980s, time has taken its toll on this archaeological treasure. A 2015 inspection found that the once-distinct outline has largely faded, leaving behind only a subrectangular area of stony, disturbed ground marked by patches of different vegetation. The old field wall that once backed the northern edge of the hut survives merely as a low, grass-covered undulation, a subtle reminder of the lives once lived on this windswept Irish hillside.
