The site offers striking views across to the sea in the south and Slieve League to the west, whilst sitting just 110 metres from a larger clustered settlement of multiple hut sites. These heather-covered stone foundations tell a story of early Irish mountain habitation, forming part of what archaeologists have identified as a concentrated settlement area at Málainn Bhig.

The ruins consist of either three small adjoining square hut sites or possibly a single rectangular house divided into three chambers; the exact original layout remains uncertain due to centuries of weathering. The southernmost structure is the best preserved, with its drystone walls still standing about half a metre high in places, roughly four courses of stone intact. The interior measures approximately 2.4 metres east to west by 2.7 metres north to south, with what might be an entrance gap visible at the northern end of the eastern wall. The walls themselves are substantial, measuring about 0.9 metres thick, constructed in the traditional drystone method without mortar.

A second hut site sits just a metre to the north, whilst the wall footings of what could be a third structure extend from the northwest angle of the second site. This clustering pattern is typical of early Irish settlements, where multiple small structures would be built in close proximity, possibly housing extended family groups or serving different domestic and agricultural purposes. The entire complex forms part of the broader archaeological landscape catalogued as DG089-026, representing one of many such mountain settlements that once dotted the Irish uplands.
