The outline is sub-rectangular, measuring roughly four metres along its longer axis and less than two metres across, with walls that survive only to about thirty centimetres in height. What makes it quietly compelling is the specificity of what remains: a probable entrance gap, some seventy centimetres wide, set at the northern end of the long wall, and an interior floor that slopes gently downward from south-west to north-east by about fifteen centimetres. That slight tilt is almost certainly deliberate, a practical measure to encourage drainage in a structure that would otherwise sit damp against the hillside.

The site sits overlooking a small valley known as the Shaking Bog, a name that points to the character of the ground below, a type of floating or quaking bog where the surface vegetation moves underfoot because it rests on waterlogged peat rather than solid ground. Hut sites of this kind are broadly understood as the remains of temporary or seasonal shelters, the sort used by those moving livestock to upland pastures in summer, a practice known in Ireland as booleying. Beyond the physical dimensions and the orientation of the slope, the record offers little to anchor the structure to a particular period. Its anonymity is itself part of its character: a stripped-down remnant of occupation, human in scale, facing east toward a bog with an unsettling name.
