The main structure consists of a rectangular hut with internal dimensions measuring 7 metres east to west and 5.7 metres north to south, its walls now reduced to mere footings. What makes this site particularly interesting is the adjoining garden plot, defined by an earth and stone bank that would have once marked out cultivation space for the inhabitants. About 150 metres to the west stands a cairn, though its relationship to the hut remains unclear.

The site’s layout presents something of a puzzle to archaeologists. Just 5 metres south of the main structure sits what appears to be a second hut, smaller and slightly different in design, with internal dimensions of 4.1 metres north to south by 6.6 metres east to west. Its sod-covered wall footings suggest a different construction method or period of use. The question remains whether these represent two separate dwellings sharing a garden plot, or if they formed a single complex with multiple chambers; perhaps one served as living quarters whilst the other functioned as storage or workspace.

These lowland huts differ markedly from the smaller structures found on the ridge top above, which sit within their own individual cashels, or stone enclosures. The contrast suggests different periods of occupation, social structures, or agricultural practices between the ridge-top and valley settlements. Whilst the exact date of these structures remains unknown, their placement on marginal, waterlogged land might indicate they were built during a period of population pressure when even less desirable locations were pressed into service, or perhaps they served a specific agricultural purpose that required proximity to wetland resources.
