The National Monuments Service's description
'This structure, perhaps more a hut than a hut site , is D-shaped in plan and is built primarily with sandstone blocks, though a small amount of limestone is used in the upper courses. The walls stand to between 1.1m and 2m high and the interior measures 2m NW-SE and 3m NE-SW. The internal area is covered with loose stone, which has presumably fallen from the walls. The walls are generally 60cm wide and a clearly defined entrance, 50cm wide, is found a the northeast end of the northwest wall.'
The above description is derived from R. Sherlock, Northwest Co. Cavan Survey. An archaeological survey of northwest Cavan: the other Burren (2007), p. 148.
