The structure takes the form of a small D-shaped or roughly square chamber, measuring approximately 6 metres across in both directions. Its boundaries are defined by low earth and stone banks, ranging from 20 to 50 centimetres in height and roughly 1.7 metres wide at the base, which likely represent the grass-covered footings of former dry stone walls. Low upright stones, or orthostats, can still be seen forming parts of both the inner and outer wall faces, whilst the interior sits slightly below the current ground level, though no clear entrance survives.

This dwelling forms part of a fascinating cluster of four related monuments scattered across this hilltop location, all seemingly integrated within an extensive ancient field system. A field wall belonging to this broader agricultural landscape can be spotted just 30 metres to the west, whilst 45 metres to the north stands a cashel; a stone-built ringfort; complete with two additional hut sites. The careful positioning of these structures suggests a small but organised community once inhabited this elevated spot, taking advantage of both the defensive qualities of the height and the panoramic views for monitoring their livestock and lands.

Archaeological documentation of the site, compiled by Caimin O’Brien in May 2010, notes that whilst the preservation is somewhat poor, the visible remains still offer valuable insights into how these early Irish communities organised their settlements. The sunken interior and substantial wall footings suggest this was a permanent dwelling rather than a temporary shelter, part of a wider pattern of hilltop occupation that characterises much of Ireland’s ancient rural landscape.
